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

Multiplets, formed when multiple cells are captured in a droplet, produce hybrid molecular profiles that confound single-cell analyses. Detecting multiplets in single-nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) data is particularly challenging due to sparsity and overdispersion of chromatin accessibility measurements. We introduce SEBULA, a semi-parametric empirical Bayes model that yields well-calibrated posterior probabilities for multiplet detection, enabling principled false discovery rate control. SEBULA also integrates probabilistic evidence with complementary signals from other modalities, such as scRNA-seq. Benchmarking on simulations and seven annotated trimodal DOGMA-seq datasets demonstrates SEBULA's superior performance. The open-source software is computationally efficient.
