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

DifferentialNet is a novel database that provides users with differential interactome analysis of human tissues (http://netbio.bgu.ac.il/diffnet/). Users query DifferentialNet by protein, and retrieve its differential protein-protein interactions (PPIs) per tissue via an interactive graphical interface. To compute differential PPIs, we integrated available data of experimentally detected PPIs with RNA-sequencing profiles of tens of human tissues gathered by the Genotype-Tissue Expression consortium (GTEx) and by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). We associated each PPI with a score that reflects whether its corresponding genes were expressed similarly across tissues, or were up- or down-regulated in the selected tissue. By this, users can identify tissue-specific interactions, filter out PPIs that are relatively stable across tissues, and highlight PPIs that show relative changes across tissues. The differential PPIs can be used to identify tissue-specific processes and to decipher tissue-specific phenotypes. Moreover, they unravel processes that are tissue-wide yet tailored to the specific demands of each tissue.
