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

A major problem in studying biological traits is understanding how genes work together to provide organismal structures and functions. Conventional reductionist paradigms attribute functions to particular proteins, motifs, and amino acids. An equally important but harder problem involves the synthesis of data at fundamental levels of biological systems to understand functionality at higher levels. We used subtle, naturally occurring, multigenic variation of cardiovascular (CV) properties in a panel of genetically randomized strains that are derived from the A/J and C57BL/6J strains of mice to perturb CV functions in nonpathologic ways. In this proof-of-concept study, computational analysis correctly identified the known relations among CV properties and revealed functionality at higher levels of the CV system. The network was then used to account for pleiotropies and homeostatic responses in single gene mutant mice and in mice treated with a pharmacologic agent (anesthesia). The CV network accounted for functional dependencies in complementary ways to the insights obtained from genetic networks and biochemical pathways. These networks are therefore an important approach for defining and characterizing functional relations in complex biological systems in health and disease.
