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

Summary: We present PPIXpress and PPICompare as two webservers that enable analysis of protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs). Given a reference PPIN and user-uploaded expression data from one or multiple samples, PPIXpress constructs context-dependent PPINs based on major transcripts and high-confidence domain interactions data. To derive a differential PPIN that distinguishes two groups of contextualized PPINs, PPICompare identifies statistically significant altered interactions between multiple context-dependent PPINs from PPIXpress. We present a case study where PPIXpress and PPICompare webservers were used in combination to construct the PPINs specific for melanocytic nevi and primary melanoma cells, and to detect the rewired protein interactions between these two sample types. Availability and implementation: PPIXpress and PPICompare webservers are available at https://service.bioinformatik.uni-saarland.de/ppi-webserver/index_PPIXpress.jsp and https://service.bioinformatik.uni-saarland.de/ppi-webserver/index_PPICompare.jsp, respectively. Alternatively, the webservers and application updates can be found at https://service.bioinformatik.uni-saarland.de/ppi-webserver/.
