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

backgroundIn response to the frequently overwhelming output of high-throughput microarray experiments, we propose a methodology to facilitate interpretation of biological data in the context of existing knowledge. Through the probabilistic integration of explicit and implicit data sources a functional interaction network can be constructed. Each edge connecting two proteins is weighted by a confidence value capturing the strength and reliability of support for that interaction given the combined data sources. The resulting network is examined in conjunction with expression data to identify groups of genes with significant temporal or tissue specific patterns. In contrast to unstructured gene lists, these networks often represent coherent functional groupings.

resultsBy linking from shared functional categorizations to primary biological resources we apply this method to craniofacial microarray data, generating biologically testable hypotheses and identifying candidate genes for craniofacial development.

conclusionThe novel methodology presented here illustrates how the effective integration of pre-existing biological knowledge and high-throughput experimental data drives biological discovery and hypothesis generation.
