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

Transposable elements (TEs) form 50% of the mammalian genome sequence, and their expression contributes to processes from development to disease. Owing to the abundance and high sequence similarity of TEs, short-read single-cell sequencing methods promote ambiguous mapping to many almost-identical TE loci across the genome. Here we present a protocol for single-cell long-read RNA sequencing (CELLO-seq) to enable the mapping of TE-derived reads to unique genomic loci. CELLO-seq enables the error correction of long reads through the incorporation of long 50-nucleotide unique molecular identifiers and high polymerase chain reaction duplicate numbers. Taken together, these features of CELLO-seq enable the high-fidelity mapping of expression data to highly sequence-similar young TEs, as well as to gene and TE isoforms. This will enable in-depth exploration into the interaction of individual TEs and genes within single cells. This Protocol is designed to be accessible for users with experience in molecular biology and transcriptomic analysis and can be completed within a week from cell isolation through to quantification.
