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

backgroundCurrent gene regulatory network (GRN) inference methods are notorious for a great number of indirect interactions hidden in the predictions. Filtering out the indirect interactions from direct ones remains an important challenge in the reconstruction of GRNs. To address this issue, we developed a redundancy silencing and network enhancement technique (RSNET) for inferring GRNs.

resultsTo assess the performance of RSNET method, we implemented the experiments on several gold-standard networks by using simulation study, DREAM challenge dataset and Escherichia coli network. The results show that RSNET method performed better than the compared methods in sensitivity and accuracy. As a case of study, we used RSNET to construct functional GRN for apple fruit ripening from gene expression data.

conclusionsIn the proposed method, the redundant interactions including weak and indirect connections are silenced by recursive optimization adaptively, and the highly dependent nodes are constrained in the model to keep the real interactions. This study provides a useful tool for inferring clean networks.
