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

Gene-regulatory networks are an abstract way of capturing the regulatory connectivity between transcription factors, microRNAs, and target genes in biological cells. Here, we address the problem of identifying enriched co-regulatory three-node motifs that are found significantly more often in real network than in randomized networks. First, we compare two randomization strategies, that either only conserve the degree distribution of the nodes' in- and out-links, or that also conserve the degree distributions of different regulatory edge types. Then, we address the issue how convergence of randomization can be measured. We show that after at most 10 × |E| edge swappings, converged motif counts are obtained and the memory of initial edge identities is lost.
