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 chromatin accessibility sequencing (scCAS) has proven invaluable for investigating the intricate landscape of epigenomic heterogeneity. We propose MINGLE, a mutual information-based interpretable framework that leverages cellular similarities and topological structures for accurate cell type annotation of scCAS data. Additionally, we introduce a convex hull-based strategy to effectively identify novel cell types. Extensive experiments demonstrate MINGLE's superior annotation performance, particularly for rare and novel cell types, delivering valuable biological insights compared to existing methods. Moreover, MINGLE excels in cross-batch, cross-tissue, and cross-species scenarios, showing robustness to data imbalance and size, highlighting its versatility for complex annotation tasks.
