Enhanced clustering-based differential expression analysis method for RNA-seq data.
Article in MethodsX, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
RNA-seq is a tool for measuring gene expression and is commonly used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene clustering has been widely used to classify DEGs with similar expression patterns, but rarely used to identify DEGs themselves. We recently reported that the clustering-based method (called MBCdeg1 and 2) for identifying DEGs has great potential. However, these methods left room for improvement. This study reports on the improvement (named MBCdeg3). We compared a total of six competing methods: three conventional R packages (edgeR, DESeq2, and TCC) and three versions of MBCdeg (i.e., MBCdeg1, 2, and 3) corresponding to three different normalization algorithms. As MBCdeg3 performs well in many simulation scenarios of RNA-seq count data, MBCdeg3 replaces MBCdeg1 and 2 in our previous report. •MBCdeg3 is a method for both identification and classification of DEGs from RNA-seq count data.•MBCdeg3 is available as a function of R, which is common in the field of expression analysis.•MBCdeg3 performs well in a variety of simulation scenarios for RNA-seq count data.
