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

High-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technologies are powerful tools for understanding cellular state. Often, it is of interest to quantify and to summarize changes in cell state that occur between experimental or biological conditions. Differential expression is typically assessed using univariate tests to measure genewise shifts in expression. However, these methods largely ignore changes in transcriptional correlation. Furthermore, there is a need to identify the low-dimensional structure of the gene expression shift to identify collections of genes that change between conditions. Here, we propose contrastive latent variable models designed for count data to create a richer portrait of differential expression in sequencing data. These models disentangle the sources of transcriptional variation in different conditions in the context of an explicit model of variation at baseline. Moreover, we develop a model-based hypothesis testing framework that can test for global and gene subset-specific changes in expression. We evaluate our model through extensive simulations and analyses with count-based gene expression data from perturbation and observational sequencing experiments. We find that our methods effectively summarize and quantify complex transcriptional changes in case-control experimental sequencing data.
