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

The advent of large-scale microbiome studies affords newfound analytical opportunities to understand how these communities of microbes operate and relate to their environment. However, the analytical methodology needed to model microbiome data and integrate them with other data constructs remains nascent. This emergent analytical toolset frequently ports over techniques developed in other multi-omics investigations, especially the growing array of statistical and computational techniques for integrating and representing data through networks. While network analysis has emerged as a powerful approach to modeling microbiome data, oftentimes by integrating these data with other types of omics data to discern their functional linkages, it is not always evident if the statistical details of the approach being applied are consistent with the assumptions of microbiome data or how they impact data interpretation. In this review, we overview some of the most important network methods for integrative analysis, with an emphasis on methods that have been applied or have great potential to be applied to the analysis of multi-omics integration of microbiome data. We compare advantages and disadvantages of various statistical tools, assess their applicability to microbiome data, and discuss their biological interpretability. We also highlight on-going statistical challenges and opportunities for integrative network analysis of microbiome data.
