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

backgroundSince the introduction of microarrays in 1995, researchers world-wide have used both commercial and custom-designed microarrays for understanding differential expression of transcribed genes. Public databases such as ArrayExpress and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) have made millions of samples readily available. One main drawback to microarray data analysis involves the selection of probes to represent a specific transcript of interest, particularly in light of the fact that transcript-specific knowledge (notably alternative splicing) is dynamic in nature.

resultsWe therefore developed a framework for reannotating and reassigning probe groups for Affymetrix® GeneChip® technology based on functional regions of interest. This framework addresses three issues of Affymetrix® GeneChip® data analyses: removing nonspecific probes, updating probe target mapping based on the latest genome knowledge and grouping probes into gene, transcript and region-based (UTR, individual exon, CDS) probe sets. Updated gene and transcript probe sets provide more specific analysis results based on current genomic and transcriptomic knowledge. The framework selects unique probes, aligns them to gene annotations and generates a custom Chip Description File (CDF). The analysis reveals only 87% of the Affymetrix® GeneChip® HG-U133 Plus 2 probes uniquely align to the current hg38 human assembly without mismatches. We also tested new mappings on the publicly available data series using rat and human data from GSE48611 and GSE72551 obtained from GEO, and illustrate that functional grouping allows for the subtle detection of regions of interest likely to have phenotypical consequences.

conclusionThrough reanalysis of the publicly available data series GSE48611 and GSE72551, we profiled the contribution of UTR and CDS regions to the gene expression levels globally. The comparison between region and gene based results indicated that the detected expressed genes by gene-based and region-based CDFs show high consistency and regions based results allows us to detection of changes in transcript formation.
