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

backgroundWhile progresses have been made in mapping transcriptional regulatory networks, posttranscriptional regulatory roles just begin to be uncovered, which has arrested much attention due to the discovery of miRNAs. Here we demonstrated a combinatorial approach to incorporate transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory sequences with gene expression profiles to determine their probabilistic dependencies.

resultsWe applied the proposed method to microarray time course gene expression profiles and could correctly predict expression patterns for more than 50% of 1,132 genes, based on the sequence motifs adopted in the network models, which was statistically significant. Our study suggested that the contribution of miRNA regulation towards gene expression in plants may be more restricted than that of transcription factors; however, miRNAs might confer additional layers of robustness on gene regulation networks. The programs written in C++ and PERL implementing methods in this work are available for download from our supplemental data web page.

conclusionIn this study we demonstrated a combinatorial approach to incorporate miRNA target motifs (miRNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulatory sites) and TFBSs (transcription factor binding sites) with gene expression profiles to reconstruct the regulatory networks. The proposed approach may facilitate the incorporation of diverse sources with limited prior knowledge.
