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

backgroundPeak calling is a fundamental step in the analysis of data generated by ChIP-seq or similar techniques to acquire epigenetics information. Current peak callers are often hard to parameterise and may therefore be difficult to use for non-bioinformaticians. In this paper, we present the ChIP-seq analysis tool available in CLC Genomics Workbench and CLC Genomics Server (version 7.5 and up), a user-friendly peak-caller designed to be not specific to a particular *-seq protocol.

resultsWe illustrate the advantages of a shape-based approach and describe the algorithmic principles underlying the implementation. Thanks to the generality of the idea and the fact the algorithm is able to learn the peak shape from the data, the implementation requires only minimal user input, while still being applicable to a range of *-seq protocols. Using independently validated benchmark datasets, we compare our implementation to other state-of-the-art algorithms explicitly designed to analyse ChIP-seq data and provide an evaluation in terms of receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) plots. In order to show the applicability of the method to similar *-seq protocols, we also investigate algorithmic performances on DNase-seq data.

conclusionsThe results show that CLC shape-based peak caller ranks well among popular state-of-the-art peak callers while providing flexibility and ease-of-use.
