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

RNA velocity has recently emerged as a key tool in the analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data, yet connecting RNA velocity analyses to underlying regulatory processes has proved challenging. Here, we propose CRAK-Velo, a semi-mechanistic model that integrates chromatin accessibility data in the estimation of RNA velocities. CRAK-Velo provides biologically consistent estimates of developmental flows and enables accurate cell-type deconvolution, while additionally shining light on regulatory processes at the level of interactions between genes and chromatin regions.
