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

Transcriptomic data is accumulating rapidly; thus, scalable methods for extracting knowledge from this data are critical. Here, we assembled a top-down expression and regulation knowledge base for Escherichia coli. The expression component is a 1035-sample, high-quality RNA-seq compendium consisting of data generated in our lab using a single experimental protocol. The compendium contains diverse growth conditions, including: 9 media; 39 supplements, including antibiotics; 42 heterologous proteins; and 76 gene knockouts. Using this resource, we elucidated global expression patterns. We used machine learning to extract 201 modules that account for 86% of known regulatory interactions, creating the regulatory component. With these modules, we identified two novel regulons and quantified systems-level regulatory responses. We also integrated 1675 curated, publicly-available transcriptomes into the resource. We demonstrated workflows for analyzing new data against this knowledge base via deconstruction of regulation during aerobic transition. This resource illuminates the E. coli transcriptome at scale and provides a blueprint for top-down transcriptomic analysis of non-model organisms.
