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

Microarray time-course data can be used to explore interactions among genes and infer gene network. The crucial step in constructing gene network is to develop an appropriate causality test. In this regard, the expression profile of each gene can be treated as a time series. A typical existing method establishes the Granger causality based on Wald type of test, which relies on the homoscedastic normality assumption of the data distribution. However, this assumption can be seriously violated in real microarray experiments and thus may lead to inconsistent test results and false scientific conclusions. To overcome the drawback, we propose an estimating equation-based method which is robust to both heteroscedasticity and nonnormality of the gene expression data. In fact, it only requires the residuals to be uncorrelated. We will use simulation studies and a real-data example to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.
