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

backgroundBurgeoning interest in integrative analyses has produced a rise in studies which incorporate data from multiple genomic platforms. Literature for conducting formal hypothesis testing on an integrative gene set level is considerably sparse. This paper is biologically motivated by our interest in the joint effects of epigenetic methylation loci and their associated mRNA gene expressions on lung cancer survival status.

resultsWe provide an efficient screening approach across multiplatform genomic data on the level of biologically related sets of genes, and our methods are applicable to various disease models regardless whether the underlying true model is known (iTEGS) or unknown (iNOTE). Our proposed testing procedure dominated two competing methods. Using our methods, we identified a total of 28 gene sets with significant joint epigenomic and transcriptomic effects on one-year lung cancer survival.

conclusionsWe propose efficient variance component-based testing procedures to facilitate the joint testing of multiplatform genomic data across an entire gene set. The testing procedure for the gene set is self-contained, and can easily be extended to include more or different genetic platforms. iTEGS and iNOTE implemented in R are freely available through the inote package at https://cran.r-project.org// .
