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

Endothelial cells (ECs) line blood vessels, regulate homeostatic processes (blood flow, immune cell trafficking), but are also involved in many prevalent diseases. The increasing use of high-throughput technologies such as gene expression microarrays and (single cell) RNA sequencing generated a wealth of data on the molecular basis of EC (dys-)function. Extracting biological insight from these datasets is challenging for scientists who are not proficient in bioinformatics. To facilitate the re-use of publicly available EC transcriptomics data, we developed the endothelial database EndoDB, a web-accessible collection of expert curated, quality assured and pre-analyzed data collected from 360 datasets comprising a total of 4741 bulk and 5847 single cell endothelial transcriptomes from six different organisms. Unlike other added-value databases, EndoDB allows to easily retrieve and explore data of specific studies, determine under which conditions genes and pathways of interest are deregulated and assess reprogramming of metabolism via principal component analysis, differential gene expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, heatmaps and metabolic and transcription factor analysis, while single cell data are visualized as gene expression color-coded t-SNE plots. Plots and tables in EndoDB are customizable, downloadable and interactive. EndoDB is freely available at https://vibcancer.be/software-tools/endodb, and will be updated to include new studies.
