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

summaryIntegrative Module Analysis for Multi-omics Data (iModMix) is a biology-agnostic framework that enables the discovery of novel associations across any type of quantitative abundance data, including but not limited to transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Instead of relying on pathway annotations or prior biological knowledge, iModMix constructs data-driven modules using graphical lasso to estimate sparse networks from omics features. These modules are summarized into eigenfeatures and correlated across datasets for horizontal integration, while preserving the distinct feature sets and interpretability of each omics type. iModMix operates directly on matrices containing expression or abundances for a wide range of features, including but not limited to genes, proteins, and metabolites. Because it does not rely on annotations (e.g., KEGG identifiers), it can seamlessly incorporate both identified and unidentified metabolites, addressing a key limitation of many existing metabolomics tools. iModMix is available as a user-friendly R Shiny application requiring no programming expertise (https://imodmix.moffitt.org), and as a Bioconductor R package for advanced users (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/iModMix.html). The tool includes several public and in-house datasets to illustrate its utility in identifying novel multi-omics relationships in diverse biological contexts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: iModMix is freely available from Bioconductor (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/iModMix.html), and the example dataset package (iModMixData) is also available from Bioconductor (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/ data/experiment/html/iModMixData.html). The R package source code and Docker are available from GitHub: https://github.com/biodatalab/iModMix. Shiny application can be accessed at: https://imodmix.moffitt.org.
