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 identification of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) can greatly advance our understanding of eukaryotic regulatory mechanism. Current methods to predict CRMs from known motifs either depend on multiple alignments or can only deal with a small number of known motifs provided by users. These methods are problematic when binding sites are not well aligned in multiple alignments or when the number of input known motifs is large. We thus developed a new CRM identification method MOPAT (motif pair tree), which identifies CRMs through the identification of motif modules, groups of motifs co-occurring in multiple CRMs. It can identify 'orthologous' CRMs without multiple alignments. It can also find CRMs given a large number of known motifs. We have applied this method to mouse developmental genes, and have evaluated the predicted CRMs and motif modules by microarray expression data and known interacting motif pairs. We show that the expression profiles of the genes containing CRMs of the same motif module correlate significantly better than those of a random set of genes do. We also show that the known interacting motif pairs are significantly included in our predictions. Compared with several current methods, our method shows better performance in identifying meaningful CRMs.
