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

Researchers usually measure only a few technical replicates of two types of cell line, resistant or sensitive to a drug, and use a fold-change (FC) cut-off value to detect differentially expressed (DE) genes. However, the FC cut-off lacks statistical control and is biased towards the identification of genes with low expression levels in both cell lines. Here, viewing every pair of resistant-sensitive technical replicates as an experiment, we proposed an algorithm to identify DE genes by evaluating the reproducibility of the expression difference or FC between every two independent experiments without overlapping samples. Using four small datasets of cancer cell line resistant or sensitive to a drug, we demonstrated that this algorithm could efficiently capture reproducible DE genes significantly enriched in biological pathways relevant to the corresponding drugs, whereas many of them could not be found by the FC and other commonly used methods. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is an effective complement to current approaches for analysing small cancer cell line data.
