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

Pathway enrichment analysis is the most common approach for understanding which biological processes are affected by altered gene activities under specific conditions. However, it has been challenging to find a method that efficiently avoids false positives while keeping a high sensitivity. We here present a new network-based method ANUBIX based on sampling random gene sets against intact pathway. Benchmarking shows that ANUBIX is considerably more accurate than previous network crosstalk based methods, which have the drawback of modelling pathways as random gene sets. We demonstrate that ANUBIX does not have a bias for finding certain pathways, which previous methods do, and show that ANUBIX finds biologically relevant pathways that are missed by other methods.
