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

Motivation: Increasingly complex omics datasets are being generated, along with associated diverse categories of metadata (environmental, clinical, etc.). Looking at the correlation between these variables can be critical to identify potential confounding factors and novel relationships. To date, some correlation globe software has been developed to aid investigations; however, they lack secure, dynamic visualization capability. Results: GlobeCorr.ca is a web-based application designed to provide user-friendly, interactive visualization and analysis of correlation datasets. Users load tabular data listing pairwise variables and their correlation values, and GlobeCorr creates a dynamic visualization using ribbons to represent positive and negative correlations, optionally grouped by domain/category (such as microbiome taxa against other metadata). GlobeCorr runs securely (locally on a user's computer) and provides a simple method for users to visualize and summarize complex datasets. This tool is applicable to a wide range of disciplines and domains of interest, including the bioinformatics/microbiome and metadata examples provided within.
