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

Fast-developing single-cell multimodal omics (scMulti-omics) technologies enable the measurement of multiple modalities, such as DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, RNA expression, protein abundance, gene perturbation, and spatial information, from the same cell. scMulti-omics can comprehensively explore and identify cell characteristics, while also presenting challenges to the development of computational methods and tools for integrative analyses. Here, we review these integrative methods and summarize the existing tools for studying a variety of scMulti-omics data. The various functionalities and practical challenges in using the available tools in the public domain are explored through several case studies. Finally, we identify remaining challenges and future trends in scMulti-omics modeling and analyses.
