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

Recent efforts to generate atlas-scale single-cell data provide opportunities for joint analysis across tissues and modalities. Existing methods use cells as the reference unit, hindering downstream gene-based analysis and removing genuine biological variation. Here we present GIANT, an integration method designed for atlas-scale gene analysis across cell types and tissues. GIANT converts data sets into gene graphs and recursively embeds genes without additional alignment. Applying GIANT to two recent atlas data sets yields unified gene-embedding spaces across human tissues and data modalities. Further evaluations demonstrate GIANT's usefulness in discovering diverse gene functions and underlying gene regulation in cells from different tissues.
