1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In single-cell sequencing analysis, several computational methods have been developed to map the cellular state space, but little has been done to map or create embeddings of the gene space. Here we formulate the gene embedding problem, design tasks with simulated single-cell data to evaluate representations, and establish ten relevant baselines. We then present a graph signal processing approach, called gene signal pattern analysis (GSPA), that learns rich gene representations from single-cell data using a dictionary of diffusion wavelets on the cell-cell graph. GSPA enables characterization of genes based on their patterning and localization on the cellular manifold. We motivate and demonstrate the efficacy of GSPA as a framework for diverse biological tasks, such as capturing gene co-expression modules, condition-specific enrichment and perturbation-specific gene-gene interactions. Then we showcase the broad utility of gene representations derived from GSPA, including for cell-cell communication (GSPA-LR), spatial transcriptomics (GSPA-multimodal) and patient response (GSPA-Pt) analysis.
