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

The generation of omics data sets has become an important approach in modern pharmacological and toxicological research as it can provide mechanistic and quantitative information on a large scale. Analyses of these data frequently revealed a non-linear dose-response relationship underscoring the importance of the modeling process to infer biological exposure limits. A number of tools have been developed for dose-response modeling and various thresholds have been defined as a quantitative representation of the effect of a substance, such as effective concentrations or benchmark doses (BMD). Here we present DoseRider an easy-to-use web application and a companion R package for linear and non-linear dose-response modeling and assessment of BMD at the level of biological pathways or signatures using generalized mixed effect models. This approach allows to analyze custom or provided multi-omics data such as RNA sequencing or metabolomics data and its annotation of a collection of pathways and gene sets from various species. Moreover, we introduce the concept of the trend change doses (TCDs) as a numerical descriptor of effects derived from complex dose-response curves. The usability of DoseRider was demonstrated by analyses of RNA sequencing data of bisphenol AF (BPAF) treatment of a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) at 8 different concentrations using gene sets for chemical and genetic perturbations (MSigDB). The BMD for BPAF and a set of genes upregulated by estrogen in breast cancer was 0.2 µM (95 %-CI 0.1-0.5 µM) and the lowest TCD (TCD1) was 0.003 µM (95 %-CI 0.0006-0.01 µM). The comprehensive presentation of the results underlines the suitability of the system for pharmacogenomics, toxicogenomics, and applications beyond.
