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

Inference of cell type-specific gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is a fundamental step in investigating complex regulatory mechanisms. Here, we present KEGNI (Knowledge graph-Enhanced Gene regulatory Network Inference), a knowledge-guided framework that employs a graph autoencoder to capture gene regulatory relationships and incorporates a knowledge graph to infer GRNs based on scRNA-seq data. KEGNI shows superior performance compared to multiple methods using scRNA-seq data or paired scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data. KEGNI can identify driver genes and elucidate the regulatory mechanisms underlying distinct cellular contexts. The modular design of KEGNI supports the integration of various knowledge graphs for context-specific tasks.
