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

motivationTranscriptional regulation mechanisms allow cells to adapt and respond to external stimuli by altering gene expression. The possible cell transcriptional states are determined by the underlying gene regulatory network (GRN), and reliably inferring such network would be invaluable to understand biological processes and disease progression.

resultsIn this article, we present a novel method for the inference of GRNs, called PORTIA, which is based on robust precision matrix estimation, and we show that it positively compares with state-of-the-art methods while being orders of magnitude faster. We extensively validated PORTIA using the DREAM and MERLIN+P datasets as benchmarks. In addition, we propose a novel scoring metric that builds on graph-theoretical concepts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The code and instructions for data acquisition and full reproduction of our results are available at https://github.com/AntoinePassemiers/PORTIA-Manuscript. PORTIA is available on PyPI as a Python package (portia-grn). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
