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

Cells in the human body are regulated by sophisticated networks of gene regulation, which allows them to fulfill their cellular destiny and function. Inspired by the advancements in large language models, there have been several attempts focusing on constructing foundation models with single-cell transcriptomic data to decipher gene regulatory networks. However, these models tend to impose a sequential structure on genes within each cell, which may omit intrinsic biological characteristics and lack the utilization of other available prior knowledge. In this paper, we introduce Cell-GraphCompass (CGCompass), the pioneering foundation model that employs graph pre-training to model genes and cells. We use three types of gene-related information as node features for constructing cell graphs and collect data from three perspectives depicting relationships between genes as edge features. We pre-trained the model with over 50 million human cells and then fine-tuned it to a broad spectrum of tasks, such as batch integration, cell type annotation, single-cell gene perturbation and
