Spatial dissimilarity analysis in single-cell transcriptomics.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
We develop the spatial dissimilarity method to uncover complex bivariate relationships in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data, addressing challenges such as alternative splicing and allele-specific gene expression. Applying this method to detect alternative splicing in neurons demonstrates improved accuracy and sensitivity compared to existing tools, notably identifying neuron subtypes. In tumor cells, spatial dissimilarity analysis reveals somatic variants that emerge during tumor progression, validated through whole-exome sequencing. These findings highlight how allele-specific genetic variants contribute to the subclone architecture of cancer cells, offering insights into cellular heterogeneity. Applied on a human cell atlas, we uncover numerous cases of allele-specific expression of genes in normal cells. We provide a software package for spatial dissimilarity analysis to enable enhanced understanding of cellular complexity and gene expression dynamics under homeostatic conditions and during states of transitions.
