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

motivationModelling gene expression is a central problem in systems biology. Single-cell technologies have revolutionized the field by enabling sequencing at the resolution of individual cells. This results in a much richer data compared to what is obtained by bulk technologies, offering new possibilities and challenges for gene regulatory network inference.

resultsIn this work, we introduce GRIT (gene regulation inference by transport)-a method to fit a differential equation model and to infer gene regulatory networks from single-cell data using the theory of optimal transport. The idea consists in tracking the evolution of the cell distribution over time and finding the system whose temporal marginals minimize the transport cost with the observations. GRIT is finally used to identify genes and pathways affected by two Parkinson's disease associated mutations. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Matlab implementation of the method and code for data generation are at gitlab.com/uniluxembourg/lcsb/systems-control/grit together with a user guide. A snapshot of the code used for the results of this article is at doi: 10.5281/zenodo.15582432.
