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

Changes in biological pathways provide essential clues about metabolism. Genome-scale metabolic models (GEM) are network-based templates that computationally describe all stoichiometric associations and gene-protein reaction (GPR) relations found in an organism for all its metabolic genes and metabolites. Using reaction stoichiometry as input, GEMs mathematically simulate metabolic reaction fluxes occurring in an organism and predict changes in the metabolic system under the relevant condition. Multiple tools and approaches in the literature can capture fluxes sensitive to a given condition by using GEMs. However, functional enrichment analysis of these reaction lists in a systems biology perspective is not straightforward. Here, we introduce RSEA to annotate given reaction sets to significantly related metabolic pathways: Reaction Set Enrichment Analysis web server tool. RSEA converts given reaction list derived from GEMs into proper reaction identifiers and statistically analyze its enrichment in metabolic pathways. RSEA is designed to provide researchers with a practical and user-friendly platform to explore and interpret sets of reactions in biological pathways and freely available online (https://rseatool.com/).
