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 gene regulatory network (GRN) plays a vital role in understanding the structure and dynamics of cellular systems, revealing complex regulatory relationships, and exploring disease mechanisms. Recently, deep learning (DL)-based methods have been proposed to infer GRNs from single-cell transcriptomic data and achieved impressive performance. However, these methods do not fully utilize graph topological information and high-order neighbor information from multiple receptive fields. To overcome those limitations, we propose a novel model based on multiview graph attention network, namely, scMGATGRN, to infer GRNs. scMGATGRN mainly consists of GAT, multiview, and view-level attention mechanism. GAT can extract essential features of the gene regulatory network. The multiview model can simultaneously utilize local feature information and high-order neighbor feature information of nodes in the gene regulatory network. The view-level attention mechanism dynamically adjusts the relative importance of node embedding representations and efficiently aggregates node embedding representations from two views. To verify the effectiveness of scMGATGRN, we compared its performance with 10 methods (five shallow learning algorithms and five state-of-the-art DL-based methods) on seven benchmark single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets from five cell lines (two in human and three in mouse) with four different kinds of ground-truth networks. The experimental results not only show that scMGATGRN outperforms competing methods but also demonstrate the potential of this model in inferring GRNs. The code and data of scMGATGRN are made freely available on GitHub (https://github.com/nathanyl/scMGATGRN).
