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

backgroundIdentifying diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers from expression profiling data is of great significance for achieving personalized medicine and designing therapeutic strategy in complex diseases. However, the reproducibility of identified biomarkers across tissues and experiments is still a challenge for this issue.

resultsWe propose a strategy based on discriminative area of module activities to identify gene biomarkers which interconnect as a subnetwork or module by integrating gene expression data and protein-protein interactions. Then, we implement the procedure in T2DM as a case study and identify a module biomarker with 32 genes from mRNA expression data in skeletal muscle for T2DM. This module biomarker is enriched with known causal genes and related functions of T2DM. Further analysis shows that the module biomarker is of superior performance in classification, and has consistently high accuracies across tissues and experiments.

conclusionThe proposed approach can efficiently identify robust and functionally meaningful module biomarkers in T2DM, and could be employed in biomarker discovery of other complex diseases characterized by expression profiles.
