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

Estimating cell type compositions for complex diseases is an important step to investigate the cellular heterogeneity for understanding disease etiology and potentially facilitate early disease diagnosis and prevention. Here, we developed a computationally statistical method, referring to Multi-Omics Matrix Factorization (MOMF), to estimate the cell-type compositions of bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data by leveraging cell type-specific gene expression levels from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. MOMF not only directly models the count nature of gene expression data, but also effectively accounts for the uncertainty of cell type-specific mean gene expression levels. We demonstrate the benefits of MOMF through three real data applications, i.e., Glioblastomas (GBM), colorectal cancer (CRC) and type II diabetes (T2D) studies. MOMF is able to accurately estimate disease-related cell type proportions, i.e., oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and macrophage cells, which are strongly associated with the survival of GBM and CRC, respectively.
