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

Publicly accessible expression data produced by large consortium projects like TCGA and GTEx are increasing in number and size at an unprecedented rate. Their utility cannot be underestimated given the diversity of valuable tools widely used to interrogate these data and the many discoveries of biological and clinical significance already garnered from these datasets. However, there remain undiscovered ways to mine these rich resources and a continuing need to provide researchers with easily accessible and user-friendly applications for complex or bespoke analyses. We introduce TRanscriptome ANalysis of StratifiEd CohorTs (TRANSECT), a bioinformatics application automating the stratification and subsequent differential expression analysis of cohort data to provide further insights into gene regulation. TRANSECT works by defining two groups within a cohort based on disparate expression of a gene or a gene set and subsequently compares the groups for differences in global expression. Akin to reverse genetics minus the inherent requirement of
