scMetaIntegrator: a meta-analysis approach to paired single-cell differential expression analysis.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Traditional differential gene expression methods are limited for analysis of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies that use paired repeated measures and matched cohort designs. Many existing approaches consider cells as independent samples, leading to high false positive rates while ignoring inherent sampling structures. Although pseudobulk methods address this, they ignore intra-sample expression variability and have higher false negatives rates. We propose a novel meta-analysis approach that accounts for biological replicates and cell variability in paired scRNA-seq data. Using both real and synthetic datasets, we show that our method, single-cell MetaIntegrator (https://github.com/Khatri-Lab/scMetaIntegrator), provides robust effect size estimates and reproducible p-values.
