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

With unique genetic and cell biological strengths, C. elegans has emerged as a powerful model system for studying many biological processes. These processes are typically regulated by complex genetic networks consisting of genes. Identifying those genes and organizing them into genetic pathways are two major steps toward understanding the mechanisms that regulate biological events. Forward genetic screens with various designs are a traditional approach for identifying candidate genes. The completion of the genome sequencing in C. elegans and the advent of high-throughput experimental techniques have led to the development of two additional powerful approaches: functional genomics and systems biology. Genes that are discovered by these approaches can be ordered into interacting pathways through a variety of strategies, involving genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and functional genomics, to gain a more complete understanding of how gene regulatory networks control a particular biological process. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the approaches available to identify and construct the genetic pathways using C. elegans.
