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

Finding out the associations between an input gene set, such as genes associated with a certain phenotype, and annotated gene sets, such as known pathways, are a very important problem in modern molecular biology. The existing approaches mainly focus on the overlap between the two, and may miss important but subtle relationships between genes. In this paper, we propose a method, NetPEA, by combining the known pathways and high-throughput networks. Our method not only considers the shared genes, but also takes the gene interactions into account. It utilizes a protein-protein interaction network and a random walk procedure to identify hidden relationships between gene sets, and uses a randomization strategy to evaluate the significance for pathways to achieve such similarity scores. Compared with the over-representation based method, our method can identify more relationships. Compared with a state of the art network-based method, EnrichNet, our method not only provides a ranked list of pathways, but also provides the statistical significant information. Importantly, through independent tests, we show that our method likely has a higher sensitivity in revealing the true casual pathways, while at the same time achieve a higher specificity. Literature review of selected results indicates that some of the novel pathways reported by our method are biologically relevant and important.
