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

Differential expression (DE) is one of the most important analyses in single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Due to similarity of cell types, the DE states often have strong correlation among different cell types. Existing methods perform DE analysis for each cell type separately and ignore such correlation, leading to low accuracy, and statistical power. We develop single cell Differential Expression TEst with Cell Type correlation (scDETECT), a novel statistical method, for scRNA-seq DE analysis accounting for the cell type correlations. scDETECT implements a Bayesian hierarchical model to incorporate the cell type correlations into the modeling of the gene expression, and then the DE genes are called based on the derived posterior probabilities. Simulation and real data studies show that scDETECT significantly improves the accuracy and statistical power compared with existing methods.
