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

motivationWhile classical approaches for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) of RNA sequencing (RNAseq) experiments have been well described, modern research workflows and growing databases enable a new paradigm of controlling the FDR globally across RNAseq experiments in the past, present and future. The simplest analysis strategy that analyses each RNAseq experiment separately and applies an FDR correction method can lead to inflation of the overall FDR. We propose applying recently developed methodology for online multiple hypothesis testing to control the global FDR in a principled way across multiple RNAseq experiments.

resultsWe show that repeated application of classical repeated offline approaches has variable control of global FDR of RNAseq experiments over time. We demonstrate that the online FDR algorithms are a principled way to control FDR. Furthermore, in certain simulation scenarios, we observe empirically that online approaches have comparable power to repeated offline approaches. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The onlineFDR package is freely available at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/onlineFDR. Additional code used for the simulation studies can be found at https://github.com/latlio/onlinefdr_rnaseq_simulation. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
