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 pancreatic tissue is composite and plastic. The epigenetic makeup of different cell types is poorly characterized due to the lack of protocols that enable efficient recovery of epithelial cells. Here, we improve the canonical pipeline for single-cell analysis, optimizing the harvesting of nuclei from hard-to-dissociate tissues. We provide an in-depth mapping of the murine pancreas through paired RNA/ATAC multiomic single-nucleus sequencing, documenting the transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles of every cell in the parenchyma. This enables a superior examination of the exocrine fraction of the pancreas. We described endocrine-exocrine interaction in silico and validated pro-proliferative signals in vitro. At the same time, we assessed pancreatic cellular heterogeneity in a holistic manner. We showed that pancreatic acinar cells can acquire multiple phenotypic states that lead to the functional diversification of pancreatic acini. In particular, we identified ultra-specialized ZG16
