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

The accelerating deposition of RNAseq data over the past decade has motivated the development of advanced transcriptomic data analytics that can operate on a large number of samples. One successful approach is to apply independent component analysis (ICA) to large prokaryotic transcriptomic compendia to decompose them into independently modulated gene sets, called iModulons. Here, we review the data science principles underlying ICA-based transcriptome decomposition, computational workflows that support its routine application, and iModulonDB infrastructure that hosts and disseminates the resulting decompositions. We present iModulonDB 3.0 that contains 53 species and 71 ICA decompositions across 33,062 RNA-seq samples, with several well-sampled species (e.g.,
