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

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) serve as useful abstractions to understand transcriptional dynamics in developmental systems. Computational prediction of GRNs has been successfully applied to genome-wide gene expression measurements with the advent of microarrays and RNA-sequencing. However, these inferred networks are inaccurate and mostly based on correlative rather than causative interactions. In this review, we highlight three approaches that significantly impact GRN inference: (1) moving from one genome-wide functional modality, gene expression, to multi-omics, (2) single cell sequencing, to measure cell type-specific signals and predict context-specific GRNs, and (3) neural networks as flexible models. Together, these experimental and computational developments have the potential to significantly impact the quality of inferred GRNs. Ultimately, accurately modeling the regulatory interactions between transcription factors and their target genes will be essential to understand the role of transcription factors in driving developmental gene expression programs and to derive testable hypotheses for validation.
