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

Due to the invasiveness nature of tissue biopsy, it is common that investigators cannot collect sufficient normal controls for comparison with diseased samples. We developed a pathway enrichment tool, DRFunc, to detect significantly disease-disrupted pathways by incorporating normal controls from other experiments. The method was validated using both microarray and RNA-seq expression data for different cancers. The high concordant differentially ranked (DR) gene pairs were identified between cases and controls from different independent datasets. The DR gene pairs were used in the DRFunc algorithm to detect significantly disrupted pathways in one-phenotype expression data by combing controls from other studies. The DRFunc algorithm was exemplified by the detection of significant pathways in glioblastoma samples. The algorithm can also be used to detect altered pathways in the datasets with weak expression signals, as shown by the analysis on the expression data of chemotherapy-treated breast cancer samples.
