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

Inferring gene regulatory networks from expression data is essential in identifying complex regulatory relationships among genes and revealing the mechanism of certain diseases. Various computation methods have been developed for inferring gene regulatory networks. However, these methods focus on the local topology of the network rather than on the global topology. From network optimisation standpoint, emphasising the global topology of the network also reduces redundant regulatory relationships. In this study, we propose a novel network inference algorithm using Random Walk with Restart (RWRNET) that combines local and global topology relationships. The method first captures the local topology through three elements of random walk and then combines the local topology with the global topology by Random Walk with Restart. The Markov Blanket discovery algorithm is then used to deal with isolated genes. The proposed method is compared with several state-of-the-art methods on the basis of six benchmark datasets. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
