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

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic modification involved in biological processes and disease development. The accurate analysis of DNA methylation site information is of significant biological importance. Despite advances in single-cell sequencing, data sparsity due to low cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) coverage remains a challenge. To address this, we introduce MambaCpG, a single-cell DNA methylation state imputation model based on the Mamba block. MambaCpG integrates the methylation matrix and DNA sequence context and uses bidirectional Mamba blocks to obtain embeddings, effectively capturing the long-range dependencies between CpG sites within DNA methylation patterns. Experiments on seven datasets of various scales demonstrate that MambaCpG outperforms existing models on large, highly sparse datasets while showing competitive performance on smaller datasets. MambaCpG has lower parameter and memory requirements, making it suitable for practical applications. MambaCpG also reveals ultra-long-range dependencies and provides new insights into DNA methylation patterning.
