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

As a fundamental mechanism for gene expression regulation, post-transcriptional RNA methylation plays versatile roles in various biological processes and disease mechanisms. Recent advances in single-cell technology have enabled simultaneous profiling of transcriptome-wide RNA methylation in thousands of cells, holding the promise to provide deeper insights into the dynamics, functions, and regulation of RNA methylation. However, it remains a major challenge to determine how to best analyze single-cell epitranscriptomics data. In this study, we developed SigRM, a computational framework for effectively mining single-cell epitranscriptomics datasets with a large cell number, such as those produced by the scDART-seq technique from the SMART-seq2 platform. SigRM not only outperforms state-of-the-art models in RNA methylation site detection on both simulated and real datasets but also provides rigorous quantification metrics of RNA methylation levels. This facilitates various downstream analyses, including trajectory inference and regulatory network reconstruction concerning the dynamics of RNA methylation.
