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

backgroundThe explosion of biological data has dramatically reformed today's biology research. The biggest challenge to biologists and bioinformaticians is the integration and analysis of large quantity of data to provide meaningful insights. One major problem is the combined analysis of data from different types. Bi-cluster editing, as a special case of clustering, which partitions two different types of data simultaneously, might be used for several biomedical scenarios. However, the underlying algorithmic problem is NP-hard.

resultsHere we contribute with BiCluE, a software package designed to solve the weighted bi-cluster editing problem. It implements (1) an exact algorithm based on fixed-parameter tractability and (2) a polynomial-time greedy heuristics based on solving the hardest part, edge deletions, first. We evaluated its performance on artificial graphs. Afterwards we exemplarily applied our implementation on real world biomedical data, GWAS data in this case. BiCluE generally works on any kind of data types that can be modeled as (weighted or unweighted) bipartite graphs.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first software package solving the weighted bi-cluster editing problem. BiCluE as well as the supplementary results are available online at http://biclue.mpi-inf.mpg.de.
