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 multi-omics clustering confronts noise and heterogeneity barriers. Current multi-view anchor graph approaches, though successful in noise reduction, inadequately model higher order feature interactions. To address this issue, we propose scAGCI, a cell clustering method based on anchor graphs that integrates both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data. Our method captures specific and shared anchor graphs representing the properties of omics data in the process of dynamic anchor unification, and mines high-order shared information to complete the omics representation. Subsequently, clustering results are obtained by integrating the specific and shared omics representation. Benchmarking against 13 state-of-the-art methods confirms scAGCI's superior clustering performance and computational efficiency in cell-type identification and subtype resolution. The method preserves biologically meaningful omics patterns, as evidenced by marker gene enrichment and functional analyses, establishing it as a robust tool for elucidating cellular heterogeneity in single-cell multi-omics data.
