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

backgroundBiological networks are often used to describe the relationships between relevant entities, particularly genes and proteins, and are a powerful tool for functional genomics. Many important biological problems can be investigated by comparing biological networks between different conditions or networks obtained with different techniques.

findingsWe show that contrast subgraphs, a recently introduced technique to identify the most important structural differences between 2 networks, provide a versatile tool for comparing gene and protein networks of diverse origin. We demonstrate the use of contrast subgraphs in the comparison of coexpression networks derived from different subtypes of breast cancer, coexpression networks derived from transcriptomic and proteomic data, and protein-protein interaction networks assayed in different cell lines.

conclusionsThese examples demonstrate how contrast subgraphs can provide new insight in functional genomics by extracting the gene/protein modules whose connectivity is most altered between 2 conditions or experimental techniques.
