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

Rapid environmental changes impact the global distribution and abundance of species, highlighting the urgency to understand and predict how populations will respond. The analysis of differentially expressed genes has elucidated areas of the genome involved in adaptive divergence to past and present environmental change. Such studies however have been hampered by large numbers of differentially expressed genes and limited knowledge of how these genes work in conjunction with each other. Recent methods (broadly termed "pathway analyses") have emerged that aim to group genes that behave in a coordinated fashion to a factor of interest. These methods aid in functional annotation and uncovering biological pathways, thereby collapsing complex datasets into more manageable units, providing more nuanced understandings of both the organism-level effects of modified gene expression, and the targets of adaptive divergence. Here, we reanalyze a dataset that investigated temperature-induced changes in gene expression in marine-adapted and freshwater-adapted threespine stickleback (
