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

CausalPath (causalpath.org) evaluates proteomic measurements against prior knowledge of biological pathways and infers causality between changes in measured features, such as global protein and phospho-protein levels. It uses pathway resources to determine potential causality between observable omic features, which are called prior relations. The subset of the prior relations that are supported by the proteomic profiles are reported and evaluated for statistical significance. The end result is a network model of signaling that explains the patterns observed in the experimental dataset. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Babur et al. (2021).
