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 recent advent of high-throughput microarray data has enabled the global analysis of the transcriptome, driving the development and application of computational approaches to study transcriptional regulation on the genome scale, by reconstructing in silico the regulatory interactions of the gene network. Although there are many in-depth reviews of such 'reverse-engineering' methodologies, most have focused on the practical aspect of data mining, and few on the biological problem and the biological relevance of the methodology. Therefore, in this review, from a biological perspective, we used a set of yeast microarray data as a working example, to evaluate the fundamental assumptions implicit in associating transcription factor (TF)-target gene expression levels and estimating TFs' activity, and further explore cooperative models. Finally we confirm that the detailed transcription mechanism is overly-complex for expression data alone to reveal, nevertheless, future network reconstruction studies could benefit from the incorporation of context-specific information, the modeling of multiple layers of regulation (e.g. micro-RNA), or the development of approaches for context-dependent analysis, to uncover the mechanisms of gene regulation.
