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

Central to analyzing noisy gene expression systems is solving the Chemical Master Equation (CME), which characterizes the probability evolution of the reacting species' copy numbers. Solving CMEs for high-dimensional systems suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Here, we propose a computational method for improved scalability through a divide-and-conquer strategy that optimally decomposes the whole system into a leader system and several conditionally independent follower subsystems. The CME is solved by combining Monte Carlo estimation for the leader system with stochastic filtering procedures for the follower subsystems. We demonstrate this method with high-dimensional numerical examples and apply it to identify a yeast transcription system at the single-cell resolution, leveraging mRNA time-course experimental data. The identification results enable an accurate examination of the heterogeneity in rate parameters among isogenic cells. To validate this result, we develop a noise decomposition technique exploiting time-course data but requiring no supplementary components, e.g., dual-reporters.
