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 10 × Genomics Flex Gene Expression protocol is a probe-based method that profiles fixed or frozen material, simplifying sample handling before scRNA-seq. Although probes exist only for human and mouse, we show that xenograft samples containing mixed human-mouse cells can be profiled by combining both probe sets in a single reaction. Cellranger generates species-specific count tables in which specific probes strongly outperform cross-reactive ones. We implement an approach to remove cross-reactive signals, yielding clean species-specific matrices. This solution enables scRNA-seq of xenografts without flow sorting and supports analysis of both the graft and its microenvironment.
