HUMESS: integrating quantitative transcriptomic analysis and metabolic modeling to unveil condition-specific gene signatures.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
summaryTranscriptomic analysis is a key tool for exploring gene expression, but the complexity of biological systems often limits its insights. In particular, the lack of intermodal or multi-layered analysis hinders the ability to fully capture key cellular functions such as metabolism from transcriptomic data alone. Here, we introduce a novel approach that informs transcriptomic data analysis with metabolic network modeling to address this. Unlike traditional methods, HUman MEtabolism Specific Signature (HUMESS) uses genome-scale metabolic modeling and flux analysis to highlight reactions and involved genes based on their metabolic significance, offering a deeper understanding of transcriptomic data. Our computational pipeline, supported by a user-friendly Rshiny application, enhances gene expression analysis by uncovering metabolic phenotypic signatures. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: HUMESS is open source and available under GitLab https://gitlab.univ-nantes.fr/bird_pipeline_registry/humess with the complete documentation available at https://gitlab.univ-nantes.fr/bird_pipeline_registry/humess/-/wikis/Home. A zenodo archive is also available at the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15487717. An RShiny application has been developed to facilitate the exploration and analysis of HUMESS's results. The app is available online at the following address: https://shiny-bird.univ-nantes.fr/app/shinymess but can also be installed locally, available under GitLab https://gitlab.univ-nantes.fr/pare-l/shinymess.
