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

The analysis of disease phenotype data with genetic information indicated that genes associated with clinically similar diseases tend to be functionally related and work together to perform a specific biological function. Therefore, it is of interest to relate disease phenotype data to mirror modular property implied in the association map of disease genes. Hence, we constructed a textbased human disease gene network (HDGN) by using the phenotypic similarity of their associated disease phenotype records in the OMIM database. Analysis shows that the network is highly modular and it is highly correlated with the physiological classification of genetic diseases. Using a graph clustering algorithm, we found 139 gene modules in the network of 1,865 genes and their gene products (proteins) in these gene modules tend to interact with each other via the computation of PPI intensity. Genes in such gene modules are functionally related and may represent the shared genetic basis of their corresponding diseases. These genes, alone or in combination, could be considered as potential therapeutic targets in future clinical therapy.
