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

One of the most interesting, difficult, and potentially useful topics in computational biology is the inference of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from expression data. Although researchers have been working on this topic for more than a decade and much progress has been made, it remains an unsolved problem and even the most sophisticated inference algorithms are far from perfect. In this paper, we review the latest developments in network inference, including state-of-the-art algorithms like PIDC, Phixer, and more. We also discuss unsolved computational challenges, including the optimal combination of algorithms, integration of multiple data sources, and pseudo-temporal ordering of static expression data. Lastly, we discuss some exciting applications of network inference in cancer research, and provide a list of useful software tools for researchers hoping to conduct their own network inference analyses.
