BrainConnect: processing brain connectivity and spatial transcriptomics data for integrative analysis.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
motivationCharacterizing the neuronal connectomes provides route to understand the basis of neural circuit in brains, one of the central missions in neuroscience, but the mapped connectivity is absent of molecular information, obscuring the understanding on the important genes underlying the connectomes. The whole-brain spatial transcriptomics data provide the opportunity to predict and understand the brain connectivity. However, there is no method to process these datasets in consistent data format for integrative analysis.
resultsIn this work, we developed a software to process different kinds of mouse brain connectivity data together with spatial transcriptomics in consistent brain regions to define the connectivity path and strength and then used the long short-term memory network to predict connectivity strengths from the spatial transcriptomics by using our data framework. We evaluated the model in different ways, and the results showed that our model accurately predicted the connectivity strengths and helped in selecting the important genes potentially involved in the regulation, establishment or maintenance of brain connectivity.
