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

Systems biology requires not only genome-scale data but also methods to integrate these data into interpretable models. Previously, we developed approaches that organize omics data into a structured hierarchy of cellular components and pathways, called a "data-driven ontology." Such hierarchies recapitulate known cellular subsystems and discover new ones. To broadly facilitate this type of modeling, we report the development of a software library called the Data-Driven Ontology Toolkit (DDOT), consisting of a Python package (https://github.com/idekerlab/ddot) to assemble and analyze ontologies and a web application (http://hiview.ucsd.edu) to visualize them. Using DDOT, we programmatically assemble a compendium of ontologies for 652 diseases by integrating gene-disease mappings with a gene similarity network derived from omics data. For example, the ontology for Fanconi anemia describes known and novel disease mechanisms in its hierarchy of 194 genes and 74 subsystems. DDOT provides an easy interface to share ontologies online at the Network Data Exchange.
