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

Recent research increasingly shows the relevance of network based approaches for our understanding of biological systems. Analyzing human protein interaction networks, we determined collective influencers (CI), defined as network nodes that damage the integrity of the underlying networks to the utmost degree. We found that CI proteins were enriched with essential, regulatory, signaling and disease genes as well as drug targets, indicating their biological significance. Also by focusing on different organisms, we found that CI proteins had a penchant to be evolutionarily conserved as CI proteins, indicating the fundamental role that collective influencers in protein interaction networks plays for our understanding of regulation, diseases and evolution.
