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

Single-cell multiomics technologies generate paired measurements of different cellular modalities, such as gene expression and chromatin accessibility. However, multiomics technologies are more expensive than their unimodal counterparts, resulting in smaller and fewer available multiomics datasets. Here, we present scPairing, a deep learning model inspired by contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP), which embeds different modalities from the same single cells onto a common embedding space. We leverage the common embedding space to generate novel multiomics data following bridge integration, a method that uses an existing multiomics bridge to link unimodal data. Through extensive benchmarking, we show that scPairing constructs an embedding space that fully captures both coarse and fine biological structures. We then use scPairing to generate new multiomics data from retina, immune, and renal cells. Furthermore, we extend scPairing to generate trimodal data. The generated multiomics datasets can facilitate the discovery of novel cross-modality relationships and the validation of existing biological hypotheses.
