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 completion of the Human Genome Project catalyzed the development of 'omics' technologies, enabling the detailed exploration of biological systems at an unprecedented molecular scale. Microfluidics has transformed the omics toolbox by facilitating large-scale, high-throughput and highly accurate measurements of DNA and RNA, driving the transition from bulk to single-cell analyses. This transition has ushered in a new era, moving beyond a gene- and protein-centric perspective toward a holistic understanding of cellular phenotypes. This emerging 'single-cell phenomics era' integrates diverse omics datasets with spatial, morphological and temporal phenotypes to provide a comprehensive perspective on cellular function. This Review highlights how microfluidics addressed key challenges in the transition to single-cell omics and explores how lessons learned from these efforts will propel the single-cell phenomics revolution. Furthermore, we discuss emerging opportunities in which integrative single-cell phenomics could serve as a foundation for transformative discoveries in biology.
