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

High dimensional characterization of drug targets, compound effects and disease phenotypes are crucial for increased efficiency of drug discovery. High-throughput gene expression measurements are one of the most frequently used data acquisition methods for such a systems level analysis of biological phenotypes. RNA sequencing allows genome wide quantification of transcript abundances, recently even on the level of single cells. However, the correct, mechanistic interpretation of transcriptomic measurements is complicated by the fact that gene expression changes can be both the cause and the consequence of altered phenotype. Perturbation gene expression profiles, where gene expression is measured after a genetic or chemical perturbation, can help to overcome these problems by directly connecting the causal perturbations to their gene expression consequences. In this Review, we discuss the main large scale perturbation gene expression profile datasets, and their application in the drug discovery process, covering mechanisms of action identification, drug repurposing, pathway activity analysis and quantitative modelling.
