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

Micro-organisms such as bacteria form complex ecological community networks that can be greatly influenced by diet and other environmental factors. Differential analysis of microbial community structures aims to elucidate systematic changes during an adaptive response to changes in environment. In this paper, we propose a flexible Markov random field model for microbial network structure and introduce a hypothesis testing framework for detecting differences between networks, also known as differential network analysis. Our global test for differential networks is particularly powerful against sparse alternatives. In addition, we develop a multiple testing procedure with false discovery rate control to identify the structure of the differential network. The proposed method is applied to data from a gut microbiome study on U.K. twins to evaluate how age affects the microbial community network.
