Computational design of host transcription-factors sets whose misregulation mimics the transcriptomic effect of viral infections.
Article in Scientific reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 molecular mechanisms underlying viral pathogenesis are yet poorly understood owed to the large number of factors involved and the complexity of their interactions. Could we identify a minimal set of host transcription factors (TF) whose misregulation would result in the transcriptional profile characteristic of infected cells in absence of the virus? How many of such sets exist? Are all orthogonal or share critical TFs involved in specific biological functions? We have developed a computational methodology that uses a quantitative model of the transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) of Arabidopsis thaliana to explore the landscape of all possible re-engineered TRNs whose transcriptomic profiles mimic those observed in infected plants. We found core sets containing between six and 34 TFs, depending on the virus, whose in silico knockout or overexpression in the TRN resulted in transcriptional profiles that minimally deviate from those observed in infected plants.
