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

Recent advancements of spatial sequencing technologies enable measurements of transcriptomic and epigenomic profiles within the same tissue slice, providing an unprecedented opportunity to understand cellular microenvironments. However, effective approaches for the integrative analysis of such spatial multi-omics data are lacking. Here, we propose SpaMI, a graph neural network-based model which extract features by contrastive learning strategy for each omics and integrate different omics by an attention mechanism to integrate spatial multi-omics data. We applied SpaMI to both simulated data and three real spatial multi-omics datasets derived from the same tissue slices, including spatial epigenome-transcriptome and transcriptome-proteome data. By comparing SpaMI with the state-of-the-art methods on simulation and real datasets, we demonstrate the superior performance of SpaMI in identifying spatial domain and data denoising.
