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 RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides the resolution and scale necessary to identify transcriptional programs but fails to capture post-transcriptional information critical to decipher signaling networks and cellular states. We present Vivo-seq, an innovative platform that integrates scRNA-seq and intracellular cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing following cellular fixation with a deep eutectic solvent, which preserves multiple domains of biological information beyond RNA transcripts alone. Vivo-seq enables simultaneous capture of both transcriptional and phospho-signaling states in single cells. Applying this platform to developing T helper 17 (Th17) cells, we find that simultaneous phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and c-FOS leads to maximal interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-17 production. Furthermore, we show that early IL-2 production imprints developing Th17 cells for enhanced maintenance or cytokine-dependent transdifferentiation during subsequent antigenic stimulation. By integrating transcriptional and phospho-signaling information at single-cell resolution, we identify a hyperactivated Th17 cellular state associated with early IL-2 production that has downstream consequences on functional plasticity.
