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

Much of the inter-individual variation in gene expression is triggered via perturbations of signaling networks by DNA variants. We present a novel probabilistic approach for identifying the particular pathways by which DNA variants perturb the signaling network. Our procedure, called PINE, relies on a systematic integration of established biological knowledge of signaling networks with data on transcriptional responses to various experimental conditions. Unlike previous approaches, PINE provides statistical aspects that are critical for prioritizing hypotheses for followup experiments. Using simulated data, we show that higher accuracy is attained with PINE than with existing methods. We used PINE to analyze transcriptional responses of immune dendritic cells to several pathogenic stimulations. PINE identified statistically significant genetic perturbations in the pathogen-sensing signaling network, suggesting previously uncharacterized regulatory mechanisms for functional DNA variants.
