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

backgroundCell clustering is an essential step in uncovering cellular architectures in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. However, the existing cell clustering approaches are not well designed to dissect complex structures of cellular landscapes at a finer resolution.

resultsHere, we develop a multiscale clustering (MSC) approach to construct a sparse cell-cell correlation network for unsupervised identification of de novo cell types and subtypes across multiple resolutions. Based upon simulated silver- and gold-standard data as well as real scRNA-seq data in diseases, MSC demonstrates significantly improved performance compared to established benchmark methods and reveals a biologically meaningful cell hierarchy to facilitate the discovery of novel disease-associated cell subtypes and mechanisms.

conclusionsWe present MSC as a new single-cell multiscale clustering framework as a powerful tool for advancing discoveries in disease-associated cell populations using single-cell sequencing data.
