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: Understanding accurate immune cell heterogeneity and function in single-cell datasets requires access to protein-level information, which is often unavailable due to experimental limitations. Results: We present shinyDeepGxP, an interactive web application featuring our deep learning model, DeepGxP, for predicting surface protein abundance from single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. This platform makes DeepGxP accessible to researchers without programming skills. Users can upload scRNA-seq count matrices and use "Predict Protein" to predict the abundance of 224 biologically relevant surface proteins. shinyDeepGxP provides visualizations to help identify distinct cell populations based on predicted protein profiles. Moreover, users can choose "Explore Model" to reveal key RNA predictors and their associated biological pathways for each protein. Overall, shinyDeepGxP is a user-friendly, freely available web tool that provides protein-level detail for RNA-only single-cell datasets, enabling multimodal discovery without additional experiments. Availability and implementation: shinyDeepGxP can be launched on https://shiny.crc.pitt.edu/deepgxp/.
