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

High-throughput single-cell sequencing is widely used to study cell identity. We present SEAGALL (Single-cell Explainable Geometry-Aware Graph Attention Learning pipeLine), a deep learning method to quantify the impact of molecular features on cellular phenotype, based on geometry-regularised autoencoders (GRAE) and explainable graph attention networks (X-GAT). The GRAE embeds the data into a latent space to build a reliable cell-cell graph. The GAT is trained to learn the annotations and XAI is used to explain the predictions, unravelling the features driving cell identity. SEAGALL extracts specific and stable signatures from multiple omics experiments, going beyond differential marker genes.
