Identification of genetic markers for cortical areas using a Random Forest classification routine and the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
The mammalian neocortex is subdivided into a series of cortical areas that are functionally and anatomically distinct and are often distinguished in brain sections using histochemical stains and other markers of protein expression. We searched the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, a database of gene expression, for novel markers of cortical areas. To screen for genes that change expression at area borders, we employed a random forest algorithm and binary region classification. Novel genetic markers were identified for 19 of 39 areas and provide code that quickly and efficiently searches the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. Our results demonstrate the utility of the random forest algorithm for cortical area classification and we provide code that may be used to facilitate the identification of genetic markers of cortical and subcortical structures and perhaps changes in gene expression in disease states.
