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

Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful method to comprehensively overlook gene expression profiles of individual cells in various tissues, providing fundamental datasets for classification of cell types and further functional analyses. Here we adopted scRNA-seq analysis for the zebrafish olfactory sensory neurons which respond to water-borne odorants and pheromones to elicit various behaviors crucial for survival and species preservation. Firstly, a single-cell dissociation procedure of the zebrafish olfactory rosettes was optimized by using cold-active protease, minimizing artifactual neuronal activation. Secondly, various cell types were classified into distinct clusters, based on the expressions of well-defined marker genes. Notably, we validated non-overlapping expressions of different families of olfactory receptors among the clusters of olfactory sensory neurons. Lastly, we succeeded in estimating candidate olfactory receptors responding to a particular odor stimulus by carefully scrutinizing correlated expressions of immediate early genes. Thus, scRNA-seq is a useful measure for the analysis of olfactory sensory neurons not only in classifying functional cell types but also in identifying olfactory receptor genes for given odorants and pheromones.
