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

The spatial conformation of chromosomes and genomes of single cells is relevant to cellular function and useful for elucidating the mechanism underlying gene expression and genome methylation. The chromosomal contacts (i.e. chromosomal regions in spatial proximity) entailing the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the genome of a single cell can be obtained by single-cell chromosome conformation capture techniques, such as single-cell Hi-C (ScHi-C). However, due to the sparsity of chromosomal contacts in ScHi-C data, it is still challenging for traditional 3D conformation optimization methods to reconstruct the 3D chromosome structures from ScHi-C data. Here, we present a machine learning-based method based on a novel SO(3)-equivariant graph neural network (HiCEGNN) to reconstruct 3D structures of chromosomes of single cells from ScHi-C data. HiCEGNN consistently outperforms both the traditional optimization methods and the only other deep learning method across diverse cells, different structural resolutions, and different noise levels of the data. Moreover, HiCEGNN is robust against the noise in the ScHi-C data.
