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

Transcription factors are important gene regulators with distinctive roles in development, cell signaling and cell cycling, and they have been associated with many diseases. The ConTra v3 web server allows easy visualization and exploration of predicted transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in any genomic region surrounding coding or non-coding genes. In this updated version, with a completely re-implemented user interface using latest web technologies, users can choose from nine reference organisms ranging from human to yeast. ConTra v3 can analyze promoter regions, 5΄-UTRs, 3΄-UTRs and introns or any other genomic region of interest. Thousands of position weight matrices are available to choose from for detecting specific binding sites. Besides this visualization option, additional new exploration functionality is added to the tool that will automatically detect TFBSs having at the same time the highest regulatory potential, the highest conservation scores of the genomic regions covered by the predicted TFBSs and strongest co-localizations with genomic regions exhibiting regulatory activity. The ConTra v3 web server is freely available at http://bioit2.irc.ugent.be/contra/v3.
