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

Computational analysis and interactive visualization of biological networks and protein structures are common tasks for gaining insight into biological processes. This protocol describes three workflows based on the NetworkAnalyzer and RINalyzer plug-ins for Cytoscape, a popular software platform for networks. NetworkAnalyzer has become a standard Cytoscape tool for comprehensive network topology analysis. In addition, RINalyzer provides methods for exploring residue interaction networks derived from protein structures. The first workflow uses NetworkAnalyzer to perform a topological analysis of biological networks. The second workflow applies RINalyzer to study protein structure and function and to compute network centrality measures. The third workflow combines NetworkAnalyzer and RINalyzer to compare residue networks. The full protocol can be completed in ∼2 h.
