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

The use of single-cell RNA sequencing in clinical and translational research is limited by the challenge of identifying cell-type-specific, targetable molecular changes in individual patients and cross-species differences. Here we created an integrated single-cell kidney atlas including over 1 million cells from 140 samples, defining more than 70 conserved cell states in human and rodent models. We developed CellSpectra, a computational tool that quantifies changes in gene expression coordination across cellular functions, which we applied to kidney and lung cancer data. This tool powers our patient-level single-cell functional profiling report, which highlights cell-type-specific changes in the coordination of pathway gene expression in individuals. Our cross-species atlas facilitates the selection of a rodent model that closely reflects the cellular and pathway-level signatures observed in patient samples, advancing the application of single-cell methodologies in clinical precision medicine. Finally, using experimental models, we demonstrate how our informatics approach can be applied for the potential selection of suitable therapeutics.
