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 analyzing gene regulatory network models, a common question is how members of a particular set of genes are connected. For example, one might want to explore network relationship between a set of differentially expressed genes, a gene set previously reported in the literature, or elements of one or more pathways. BLOBFISH uses a breadth-first search algorithm adapted to bipartite graphs to identify a compact subnetwork connecting the members of a pre-specified set of genes, providing a regulatory context that can shed light on specific mechanisms involved in a phenotype and its development. We demonstrate the use of BLOBFISH to extract gene regulatory subnetworks reflecting tissue specificity using publicly available data from the Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) project.
