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

Single-cell expression quantitative trait loci (sceQTL) mapping offers a powerful approach for understanding gene regulation and its heterogeneity across cell types and states. It has profound applications in genetics and genomics, particularly causal gene regulatory network (cGRN) inference to unravel the molecular circuits governing cell identity and function. However, computational scalability remains a critical bottleneck for sceQTL mapping, prohibiting thorough benchmarking and optimization of statistical accuracy. We present airqtl, an efficient method to overcome these challenges through algorithmic advances and efficient implementations of linear mixed models. Airqtl achieves superior time complexity and over 10
