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

Signaling cascades are triggered by environmental stimulation and propagate the signal to regulate transcription. Systematic reconstruction of the underlying regulatory mechanisms requires pathway-targeted, informative experimental data. However, practical experimental design approaches are still in their infancy. Here, we propose a framework that iterates design of experiments and identification of regulatory relationships downstream of a given pathway. The experimental design component, called MEED, aims to minimize the amount of laboratory effort required in this process. To avoid ambiguity in the identification of regulatory relationships, the choice of experiments maximizes diversity between expression profiles of genes regulated through different mechanisms. The framework takes advantage of expert knowledge about the pathways under study, formalized in a predictive logical model. By considering model-predicted dependencies between experiments, MEED is able to suggest a whole set of experiments that can be carried out simultaneously. Our framework was applied to investigate interconnected signaling pathways in yeast. In comparison with other approaches, MEED suggested the most informative experiments for unambiguous identification of transcriptional regulation in this system.
