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

Biomarker identification by differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using RNA-sequencing technology is an important task to characterize the transcriptomics data. This is possible with the advancement of next-generation sequencing technology (NGS). There are a number of statistical techniques to identify DEGs from high-dimensional RNA-seq count data with different groups or conditions such as edgeR, SAMSeq, voom-limma, etc. However, these methods produce high false positives and low accuracy in presence of outliers. We describe a robust t-statistic method to overcome these drawbacks using both simulated and real RNA-seq datasets. The model performance with 61.2%, 35.2%, 21.6%, 6.9%, 74.5%, 78.4%, 93.1%, 35.2% sensitivity, specificity, MER, FDR, AUC, ACC, PPV, and NPV, respectively at 20% outliers is reported. We identified 409 DE genes with p-values<0.05 using robust t-test in HIV viremic vs avirmeic state real dataset. There are 28 up-regulated genes and 381 down-regulated genes estimated by log2 fold change (FC) approach at threshold value 1.5. The up-regulated genes form three clusters and it is found that 11 genes are highly associated in HIV- 1/AIDS. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) of up-regulated genes using STRING database found 21 genes with strong association among themselves. Thus, the identification of potential biomarkers from RNA-seq dataset using a robust t-statistical model is demonstrated.
