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

Omics techniques generate comprehensive profiles of biomolecules in cells and tissues. However, a holistic understanding of underlying systems requires joint analyses of multiple data modalities. We present DPM, a data fusion method for integrating omics datasets using directionality and significance estimates of genes, transcripts, or proteins. DPM allows users to define how the input datasets are expected to interact directionally given the experimental design or biological relationships between the datasets. DPM prioritises genes and pathways that change consistently across the datasets and penalises those with inconsistent directionality. To demonstrate our approach, we characterise gene and pathway regulation in IDH-mutant gliomas by jointly analysing transcriptomic, proteomic, and DNA methylation datasets. Directional integration of survival information in ovarian cancer reveals candidate biomarkers with consistent prognostic signals in transcript and protein expression. DPM is a general and adaptable framework for gene prioritisation and pathway analysis in multi-omics datasets.
