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 technologies offer a unique opportunity to explore cellular heterogeneity in health and disease. However, reliable identification of cell types and states represents a bottleneck. Available databases and analysis tools employ dissimilar markers, leading to inconsistent annotations and poor interpretability. Furthermore, current tools focus mostly on physiological cell types, limiting their applicability to disease. We present the Cell Marker Accordion, a user-friendly platform providing automatic annotation and unmatched biological interpretation of single-cell populations, based on consistency weighted markers. We validate our approach on multiple single-cell and spatial datasets from different human and murine tissues, improving annotation accuracy in all cases. Moreover, we show that the Cell Marker Accordion can identify disease-critical cells and pathological processes, extracting potential biomarkers in a wide variety of disease contexts. The breadth of these applications elevates the Cell Marker Accordion as a fast, flexible, faithful and standardized tool to annotate and interpret single-cell and spatial populations in studying physiology and disease.
