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

New spatial multi-omics technologies, which jointly profile transcriptome and epigenome/protein markers for the same tissue section, expand the frontiers of spatial techniques. Here, we introduce MultiGATE, which utilizes a two-level graph attention auto-encoder to integrate the multi-modality and spatial information in spatial multi-omics data. The key feature of MultiGATE is that it simultaneously performs embedding of the spatial pixels and infers the cross-modality regulatory relationship, which allows deeper data integration and provides insights on transcriptional regulation. We evaluate the performance of MultiGATE on spatial multi-omics datasets obtained from different tissues and platforms. Through effectively integrating spatial multi-omics data, MultiGATE both enhances the extraction of latent embeddings of the pixels and boosts the inference of transcriptional regulation for cross-modality genomic features.
