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

In the analysis of gene expression data, network approaches take a system perspective and have played an irreplaceably important role. Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) have been popular in the network analysis of gene expression data. They investigate the conditional dependence between genes and "transform" the problem of estimating network structures into a sparse estimation of precision matrices. When there is a moderate to large number of genes, the number of parameters to be estimated may overwhelm the limited sample size, leading to unreliable estimation and selection. In this article, we propose incorporating information from previous studies (for example, those deposited at PubMed) to assist estimating the network structure in the present data. It is recognized that such information can be partial, biased, or even wrong. A penalization-based estimation approach is developed, shown to have consistency properties, and realized using an effective computational algorithm. Simulation demonstrates its competitive performance under various information accuracy scenarios. The analysis of TCGA lung cancer prognostic genes leads to network structures different from the alternatives.
