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 RNA sequencing is increasingly applied to bacterial model species, but a dedicated technique for anaerobic microbiota members of the Bacteroidota phylum has been lacking. Here, working with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, we describe experimental steps for transcriptome stabilization, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) collection, and optimized lysis of single cells from this group of organisms. We detail procedures for reverse transcription of RNAs via the multiple annealing and dC-tailing-based quantitative single-cell RNA sequencing (MATQ-seq) protocol, sensitive Cas9-based depletion of ribosomal sequences, and cDNA library generation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bornet et al.
