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

Advances in single-cell technology enable large-scale generation of omics data, promising for clarifying gene regulatory networks governing different cell type/states. Nonetheless, prevailing methods fail to account for universal and reusable regulatory modules in GRNs, which are fundamental underpinnings of cell type landscape. We introduce cRegulon to infer regulatory modules by modeling combinatorial regulation of transcription factors based on diverse GRNs from single-cell multi-omics data. Through benchmarking and applications using simulated datasets and real datasets, cRegulon outperforms existing approaches in identifying TF combinatorial modules as regulatory units and annotating cell types. cRegulon offers new insights and methodology into combinatorial regulation.
