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

Transcriptomics experiments are often conducted to capture changes in gene expression over time. However, time annotations may be missing, imprecise, or not reflect the same physiological state of the bacterial culture between different experiments. Assigning accurate time points to these experiments using a reference time course is therefore crucial for identifying differentially expressed genes, and understanding gene regulatory networks for elucidating the studied organism's physiology and life cycle. This important task, which could enhance the biological interpretation of the transcriptomics experiments, has not been previously addressed. In this work, we propose a novel method to solve the challenge of realigning transcriptomics experiments based on a reference time course. Our method is based on a Bayesian approach that uses Gaussian process regression modeling. We show a use case of applying our method for assigning time annotations in legacy microarray samples of the bacterium
