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 years have seen a rapid proliferation of single-cell cancer studies, yet most of these studies profiled few tumors, limiting their statistical power. Combining data and results across studies holds great promise but also involves various challenges. We recently began to address these challenges by curating a large collection of cancer single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets, leveraging it for systematic analyses of tumor heterogeneity. Here we greatly extend this repository to 124 datasets for over 40 cancer types, together comprising 2,836 samples, with improved data annotations, visualizations and exploration. Using this vast cohort, we generate an updated map of recurrent expression programs in malignant cells and systematically quantify context-dependent gene expression and cell-cycle patterns across cell types and cancer types. These data, annotations and analysis results are all freely available for exploration and download through the Curated Cancer Cell Atlas, a central community resource that opens new avenues in cancer research.
