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

Motivation: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is now a core technology for resolving cellular heterogeneity in complex samples, and standard analysis workflows produce a wide range of outputs, each requiring tailored visualization. To support this, a wide range of analysis tools have been developed, many of which offer built-in visualizations but leave further customization to the user. Researchers who run standard single-cell workflows in R, often experimental biologists with a working knowledge of Seurat and ggplot2, still spend considerable effort converting analytical outputs into figures that meet journal standards. Results: We present SCpubr, an R package that provides concise function calls for generating high-quality, publication-ready visualizations commonly used in single-cell transcriptome analyses. Availability and implementation: SCpubr is available on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=SCpubr), with source code accessible on GitHub (https://github.com/enblacar/SCpubr). Supplementary information: Supplementary figures are available at Bioinformatics Advances online. Extensive documentation and tutorials are available via the GitHub Pages site (https://enblacar.github.io/SCpubr-book/). The complete analysis code used to generate all figures in this publication, along with the full R session information and instructions for obtaining the raw input data, is available in GitHub (https://github.com/enblacar/SCpubr-manuscript).
