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

backgroundIn biomedical research, gene expression profiling studies have been extensively conducted. The analysis of gene expression data has led to a deeper understanding of human genetics as well as practically useful models. Clustering analysis has been a critical component of gene expression data analysis and can reveal the (previously unknown) interconnections among genes. With the high dimensionality of gene expression data, many of the existing clustering methods and results are not as satisfactory. Intuitively, this is caused by "a lack of information". In recent profiling studies, a prominent trend is to collect data on gene expressions as well as their regulators (copy number alteration, microRNA, methylation, etc.) on the same subjects, making it possible to borrow information from other types of omics measurements in gene expression analysis.

methodsIn this study, an ANCut approach is developed, which is built on the regularized estimation and NCut techniques. An effective R code that implements this approach is developed.

resultsSimulation shows that the proposed approach outperforms direct competitors. The analysis of TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) data further demonstrates its satisfactory performance.

conclusionsWe propose a more effective clustering analysis of gene expression data, with the assistance of information from regulators. It provides a new venue for analyzing gene expression data based on the assisted analysis strategy.
