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

The exocyst component of 70 kDa (EXO70) family in Arabidopsis thaliana comprises at least 23 isoforms, which are crucial for vesicular trafficking via the exocyst complex. However, the heterogeneity of its expression in leaves remains poorly understood. We analyze single-cell stereo-seq from StomicsDB to map the expression patterns of EXO70 subunits in epidermal, mesophyll, and vascular cells, addressing the challenges of sparse gene detection (≈ 2.5% expressed per cell) with a coexistence network framework. We identified cell-type-specific interactions among exocyst subunit EXO70 isoforms, exocyst complex components, and vesicle-associated protein (VAP) members by converting sparse transcriptomic data into binary matrices and calculating coexistence ratios. The results demonstrate that, within Spongy mesophyll cells, EXO70A1, EXO70H7, and exocyst subunit Sec3a (SEC3A) exhibit a significant co-occurrence, as indicated by coexistence permutation tests and correlation analyses. Our findings emphasize the functional specialization of EXO70 isoforms across leaf cell types and validate coexistence networks for analyzing low-expression gene families in complex tissues. This study presents a potential method for examining transcriptional regulators and signaling kinases in single-cell spatial omics.
