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

Whole-genome profiling of gene expression in a segregating population has the potential to identify the regulatory consequences of natural allelic variation. Costs of such studies are high and require that resources--microarrays and population--are used as efficiently as possible. We show that current studies can be improved significantly by a new design for two-color microarrays. Our "distant pair design" profiles twice as many individuals as there are arrays, cohybridizes individuals with dissimilar genomes, gives more weight to known regulatory loci if wished, and therewith maximizes the power for decomposing expression variation into regulatory factors. It can also exploit a large population (larger than twice the number of available microarrays) as a useful resource to select the most dissimilar pairs of individuals from. Our approach identifies more regulatory factors than alternative strategies do in computer simulations for realistic genome sizes, and similar promising results are obtained in an application on Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results will aid the design and analysis of future studies on gene expression and will help to shed more light on gene regulatory networks.
