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

Cell deconvolution estimates cell type proportions from bulk omics data, enabling insights into tissue microenvironments and disease. However, practical applications are often hindered by batch effects between bulk data and referenced single-cell data, a challenge that is frequently overlooked. To address this discrepancy, we developed OmicsTweezer, a distribution-independent cell deconvolution model. By integrating optimal transport with deep learning, OmicsTweezer aligns simulated and real data in a shared latent space, effectively mitigating data shifts and inter-omics distribution differences. OmicsTweezer is versatile, capable of deconvolving bulk RNA-seq, bulk proteomics, and spatial transcriptomics. Extensive evaluations on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate its robustness and accuracy. Furthermore, applications in prostate and colon cancer showcase OmicsTweezer's ability to identify biologically meaningful cell types. As a unified deconvolution framework for multi-omics data, OmicsTweezer offers an efficient and powerful tool for studying disease microenvironments.
