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

Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) have emerged as a tool to understand human metabolism from a holistic perspective with high relevance in the study of many diseases and in the metabolic engineering of human cell lines. GEM building relies on either automated processes that lack manual refinement and result in inaccurate models or manual curation, which is a time-consuming process that limits the continuous update of reliable GEMs. Here, we present a novel algorithm-aided protocol that overcomes these limitations and facilitates the continuous updating of highly curated GEMs. The algorithm enables the automatic curation and/or expansion of existing GEMs or generates a highly curated metabolic network based on current information retrieved from multiple databases in real time. This tool was applied to the latest reconstruction of human metabolism (Human1), generating a series of the human GEMs that improve and expand the reference model and generating the most extensive and comprehensive general reconstruction of human metabolism to date. The tool presented here goes beyond the current state of the art and paves the way for the automatic reconstruction of a highly curated, up-to-date GEM with high potential in computational biology as well as in multiple fields of biological science where metabolism is relevant.
