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

Differential gene expression (DGE) analysis is one of the most common applications of RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data. This process allows for the elucidation of differentially expressed genes across two or more conditions and is widely used in many applications of RNA-seq data analysis. Interpretation of the DGE results can be nonintuitive and time consuming due to the variety of formats based on the tool of choice and the numerous pieces of information provided in these results files. Here we reviewed DGE results analysis from a functional point of view for various visualizations. We also provide an R/Bioconductor package, Visualization of Differential Gene Expression Results using R, which generates information-rich visualizations for the interpretation of DGE results from three widely used tools, Cuffdiff, DESeq2 and edgeR. The implemented functions are also tested on five real-world data sets, consisting of one human, one Malus domestica and three Vitis riparia data sets.
