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: The Cytoscape Exchange (CX) format is a JSON-based data structure designed for the transmission of biological networks using standard web technologies. It was developed by the network data exchange, which itself serves as online commons to share and collaborate on biological networks. Furthermore, the Cytoscape software for the analysis and visualization of biological networks contributes structure elements to capture the visual layout within the CX format. However, there is a fundamental difference between data handling in web standards and R. A manual conversion requires detailed knowledge of the CX format to reproduce and work with the networks. Results: Here, we present a software package to create, handle, validate, visualize and convert networks in CX format to standard data types and objects within R. Networks in this format can serve as a source for biological knowledge and also capture the results of the analysis of those while preserving the visual layout across all platforms. The RCX package connects the R environment for statistical computing with outside platforms for storage and collaboration, as well as further analysis and visualization of biological networks. Availability: RCX is a free and open-source R package, available on Bioconductor from release 3.15 (https://bioconductor.org/packages/RCX) and via GitHub (https://github.com/frankkramer-lab/RCX).
