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

Public repositories of large-scale omics datasets represent a valuable resource for researchers. In fact, data re-analysis can either answer novel questions or provide critical data able to complement in-house experiments. However, despite the development of standards for the compilation of metadata, the identification and organization of samples still constitutes a major bottleneck hampering data reuse. We introduce Onassis, an R package within the Bioconductor environment providing key functionalities of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. Leveraging biomedical ontologies, Onassis greatly simplifies the association of samples from large-scale repositories to their representation in terms of ontology-based annotations. Moreover, through the use of semantic similarity measures, Onassis hierarchically organizes the datasets of interest, thus supporting the semantically aware analysis of the corresponding omics data. In conclusion, Onassis leverages NLP techniques, biomedical ontologies, and the R statistical framework, to identify, relate, and analyze datasets from public repositories. The tool was tested on various large-scale datasets, including compendia of gene expression, histone marks, and DNA methylation, illustrating how it can facilitate the integrative analysis of various omics data.
