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

Gene set analysis (GSA) has been used for analysis of microarray data to aid the interpretation and to increase statistical power. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, the use of GSA is even more relevant, as studies are often conducted on a small number of samples. We propose the use of soft truncation thresholding and the Gamma Method (GM) to determine significant gene set (GS), where a generalized linear model is used to assess per-gene significance. The approach was compared to other methods using an extensive simulation study and RNA-seq data from smallpox vaccine study. The GM was found to outperform other proposed methods. Application of the GM to the smallpox vaccine study found the GSs to be moderately associated with response, including focal adhesion (p = 0.04) and extracellular matrix receptor interaction (p = 0.05). The application of GSA to RNA-seq data will provide new insights into the genomic basis of complex traits.
