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

Time-series transcriptomes of a biological process obtained under different conditions are useful for identifying the regulators of the process and their regulatory networks. However, such data are 3D (gene expression, time, and condition), and there is currently no method that can deal with their full complexity. Here, we developed a method that avoids time-point alignment and normalization between conditions. We applied it to analyze time-series transcriptomes of developing maize leaves under light-dark cycles and under total darkness and obtained eight time-ordered gene coexpression networks (TO-GCNs), which can be used to predict upstream regulators of any genes in the GCNs. One of the eight TO-GCNs is light-independent and likely includes all genes involved in the development of Kranz anatomy, which is a structure crucial for the high efficiency of photosynthesis in C
