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

motivationAs single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) becomes more widely used in transcriptomic research, complex experimental designs, such as paired or longitudinal studies, become increasingly feasible. Paired/longitudinal scRNA-seq enables the study of transcriptomic changes over time within specific cell types, yet guidance on analytical approaches and resources for study planning, such as power analysis, remains limited. Data simulation is a valuable tool for evaluating analysis method performance and informing study design decisions, including sample size selection. Currently, most scRNA-seq simulation methods simulate cells for a single sample, thus ignoring the between-sample and between-subject variability inherent to paired/longitudinal scRNA-seq data.

resultsHere, we introduce rescueSim (REpeated measures Single Cell RNA-seqUEncing data SIMulation), a novel method that simulates paired/longitudinal scRNA-seq data using a gamma-Poisson framework and incorporates additional variability between samples and subjects. We demonstrate our method's ability to reproduce important data properties and demonstrate its application in study planning. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: rescueSim is implemented as an R package and is available at https://github.com/ewynn610/rescueSim.
