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

backgroundThe biological regulatory system is highly dynamic. Correlations between functionally related genes change over different biological conditions, which are often unobserved in the data. At the gene level, the dynamic correlations result in three-way gene interactions involving a pair of genes that change correlation, and a third gene that reflects the underlying cellular conditions. This type of ternary relation can be quantified by the Liquid Association statistic. Studying these three-way interactions at the gene triplet level have revealed important regulatory mechanisms in the biological system. Currently, due to the extremely large amount of possible combinations of triplets within a high-throughput gene expression dataset, no method is available to examine the ternary relationship at the biological system level and formally address the false discovery issue.

resultsHere we propose a new method, Hypergraph for Dynamic Correlation (HDC), to construct module-level three-way interaction networks. The method is able to present integrative uniform hypergraphs to reflect the global dynamic correlation pattern in the biological system, providing guidance to down-stream gene triplet-level analyses. To validate the method's ability, we conducted two real data experiments using a melanoma RNA-seq dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and a yeast cell cycle dataset. The resulting hypergraphs are clearly biologically plausible, and suggest novel relations relevant to the biological conditions in the data.

conclusionsWe believe the new approach provides a valuable alternative method to analyze omics data that can extract higher order structures. The software is at https://github.com/yunchuankong/HypergraphDynamicCorrelation .
