In one paragraph

Review in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Network alignment provides a comprehensive way to discover the similar parts between molecular systems of different species based on topological and biological similarity. With such a strong basis, one can do comparative studies at a systems level in the field of computational biology. In this survey paper, we focus on protein-protein interaction networks and review some representative algorithms for network alignment in the past two decades as well as the state-of-the-art aligners. We also introduce the most popular evaluation measures in the literature to benchmark the performance of these approaches. Finally, we address several future challenges and the possible ways to conquer the existing problems of biological network alignment.
