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

Transcription factors (TFs) define cellular identity either by activating target cell program or by silencing donor program as demonstrated by intensive cell reprogramming studies. Here, we propose an extended minimum set cover model with stable selection (3Scover) to systematically identify silencing TFs, named safeguard TFs, from omics data. First, a cell type-TF specificity network is constructed to systematically link cell types with their specifically expressed TFs. Then we search the minimum TF set to cover this network with "many but one specificity" characteristic and integrate many subsampling models for a stable solution. 3Scover identified 30 safeguard TFs in human and mouse. These safeguard TFs are significantly enriched in the experimentally discovered reprogramming panel with their protein-protein interactors. In addition, they tend to interact closely with chromatin regulators, negatively regulate transcription, and function earlier in development. Collectively, 3Scover allows us to probe master TFs and combinatorial regulation in controlling cell identity.
