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

Summary: New advances in single-cell multi-omics experiments have allowed biologists to examine how various biological factors regulate processes in concert on the cellular level. However, measuring multiple cellular features for a single cell can be quite resource-intensive or impossible with the current technology. By using optimal transport (OT) to align cells and features across disparate datasets produced by separate assays, Single Cell alignment using Optimal Transport+ (SCOT+), our unsupervised single-cell alignment software suite, allows biologists to align their data without the need for any correspondence. SCOT+ has a generic optimal transport solution that can be reduced to multiple different OT optimization procedures, each of which provide state-of-the-art single-cell alignment performance. With our user-friendly website and tutorials, this new package will help improve biological analyses by allowing for more accurate downstream analyses on multi-omics single-cell measurements. Implementation and Availability: Our algorithm is implemented in Pytorch and available on PyPI and GitHub (https://github.com/scotplus/scotplus). Additionally, we have many tutorials available in a separate GitHub repository (https://github.com/scotplus/book_source) and on our website (https://scotplus.github.io/).
