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

For any dynamical system, like living organisms, an attractor state is a set of variables or mechanisms that converge towards a stable system behavior despite a wide variety of initial conditions. Here, using multi-dimensional statistics, we investigate the global gene expression attractor mechanisms shaping anaerobic to aerobic state transition (AAT) of Escherichia coli in a bioreactor at early times. Out of 3,389 RNA-Seq expression changes over time, we identified 100 sharply changing genes that are key for guiding 1700 genes into the AAT attractor basin. Collectively, these genes were named as attractor genes constituting of 6 dynamic clusters. Apart from the expected anaerobic (glycolysis), aerobic (TCA cycle) and fermentation (succinate pathways) processes, sulphur metabolism, ribosome assembly and amino acid transport mechanisms together with 332 uncharacterised genes are also key for AAT. Overall, our work highlights the importance of multi-dimensional statistical analyses for revealing novel processes shaping AAT.
