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

Single-cell technologies allow characterization of cancer samples as continuous developmental trajectories. Yet, the obtained temporal resolution cannot be leveraged for a comparative analysis due to the large phenotypic heterogeneity existing between patients. Here, we present the tuMap algorithm that exploits high-dimensional single-cell data of cancer samples exhibiting an underlying developmental structure to align them with the healthy development, yielding the tuMap pseudotime axis that allows their systematic, meaningful comparison. We applied tuMap on single-cell mass cytometry data of acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia to reveal associations between the tuMap pseudotime axis and clinics that outperform cellular assignment into developmental populations. Application of the tuMap algorithm on single-cell RNA sequencing data further identified gene signatures of stem cells residing at the very-early parts of the cancer trajectories. The quantitative framework provided by tuMap allows generation of metrics for cancer patients evaluation.
