transFusion: a novel comprehensive platform for integration analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
motivationUnderstanding spatial organization, intercellular interactions, and regulatory networks within the spatial context of tissues is crucial for uncovering complex biological processes and disease mechanisms. Spatial transcriptomics technologies have revolutionized this field by enabling the spatially resolved profiling of gene expression. 10× Visium has emerged as the predominant spatial technology, but its low resolution and the complexity of integrating multimodal datasets present significant analytical challenges, particularly for researchers with limited computational and statistical expertise. Current spatial transcriptomics analysis platforms generally fall short of effectively integrating multimodal data and maximizing the utility of spatial information-such as uncovering complex cellular spatial dependencies, multimodal gradient patterns, and spatial coexpression of ligand-receptor pairs and regulatory networks related to disease or biological states-thereby limiting their ability to provide comprehensive end-to-end analytical workflows when analyzing 10× Visium data.
resultsTo address these limitations, we developed transFusion, a novel, advanced web-based platform specializing in the most comprehensive and effective integration analysis of scRNA-seq and 10× Visium spatial transcriptomics data. transFusion offers 12 key functions, from basic visualization to advanced analyses, including intercellular dependency analysis, ligand-receptor coexpression identification and visualization, and spatial multimodal gradient variation patterns. Two case studies were used to demonstrate transFusion's capabilities in exploring tissue architecture, intercellular communication, dependency networks, and multimodal gradient variation patterns with minimal computational skills and statistical expertise. transFusion provides a flexible and powerful framework for multimodal data integration analysis.
