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

motivationIncomplete gene models negatively impact single-cell gene expression quantification. This is particularly true in non-model species where often gene 3' ends are inaccurately annotated, while most scRNA-seq methods only capture the 3' transcript region. This results in many genes being incorrectly quantified or not detected.

resultsGeneExt leverages scRNA-seq data to refine gene annotations. We exemplify GeneExt usage and its impact on the gene expression quantification of eight non-model organism single-cell atlases. By extending and homogenizing gene annotations, our tool will help improve biological interpretation and cross-species comparisons of cell type expression atlases. AVAILABILITY: GeneExt is available at https://github.com/sebepedroslab/GeneExt (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18712940) under a GNU General Public license, together with test data and usage instructions.
