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

backgroundChromatin accessibility landscape is the basis of cell-specific gene expression and reflects the regulatory logic underlying cellular identity and function. However, a systematic multi-organ chromatin accessibility atlas in the rat (Rattus norvegicus), an important biomedical model organism, has been lacking.

resultsWe generated a multi-organ single-nucleus chromatin accessibility landscape of Rattus norvegicus using snATAC-seq. For this single-cell atlas, we constructed 25 libraries via snATAC-seq from 9 organs in the adult rat, with a total of over 110,000 cells. Cell classification integrating gene activity scores with known marker genes identified 77 cell types, which were strongly correlated with those in published mouse single-cell transcriptome atlases. We further investigated the enrichment of cell-type- and organ-specific transcription factors, shared and organ-specific features of endothelial and stromal cells, as well as cross-organ macrophage regulatory states, and the conservation and specificity of gene regulatory programs across species.

conclusionThis single-nucleus chromatin accessibility landscape provides a valuable foundation for dissecting tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms in the rat and facilitates cross-organ and cross-species cell type annotation and functional inference, supporting broader applications of rat model in systems biology and biomedical research.
