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

In this paper, we develop a heterogeneous graph neural network, STAMapper, to transfer the cell-type labels from single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to single-cell spatial transcriptomics (scST) data. We collect 81 scST datasets consisting of 344 slices and 16 paired scRNA-seq datasets from eight technologies and five tissues to validate the efficiency of STAMapper. STAMapper achieves the best performance on 75 out of 81 datasets compared to competing methods in accuracy. STAMapper demonstrates enhanced performance over manual annotations, particularly at the boundaries of cell clusters, enables the unknown cell-type detection in scST data, and exhibits precise cell subtype annotations.
