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

Dissecting cell-state-specific changes in gene regulation induced by perturbations is crucial for understanding biological mechanisms. However, single-cell sequencing provides only unmatched snapshots of cells under different conditions. This destructive measurement process hinders the estimation of individualized treatment effects (ITEs), which are essential for pinpointing these heterogeneous mechanistic responses. We develop scDRP, a generative framework that leverages disentangled representation learning with asymptotic correctness guarantees to separate perturbation-dependent and perturbation-independent latent variables via a sparsity regularized
