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

Motivation: Transcriptional regulators play a major role in most biological processes. Alterations in their activities are associated with a variety of diseases and in particular with tumor development and progression. Hence, it is important to assess the effects of deregulated regulators on pathological processes. Results: Here, we present REGulator-Gene Association Enrichment (REGGAE), a novel method for the identification of key transcriptional regulators that have a significant effect on the expression of a given set of genes, e.g. genes that are differentially expressed between two sample groups. REGGAE uses a Kolmogorov-Smirnov-like test statistic that implicitly combines associations between regulators and their target genes with an enrichment approach to prioritize the influence of transcriptional regulators. We evaluated our method in two different application scenarios, which demonstrate that REGGAE is well suited for uncovering the influence of transcriptional regulators and is a valuable tool for the elucidation of complex regulatory mechanisms. Availability and implementation: REGGAE is freely available at https://regulatortrail.bioinf.uni-sb.de. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
