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

Analysis of omics experiments usually identifies lists of molecular entities (genes, transcripts, other RNA molecules, proteins, or metabolites) that need to be functionally interpreted, not as individual molecules but as ensembles that are functionally related. Multiple computational methods have been developed to study the functions or pathways that are more relevant in those lists of biomolecules. In this chapter, we describe the principles behind these methods and discuss their use in the functional interpretation of omics data. First, we describe the two main approaches to identify the most relevant functional annotations in a list of biomolecules: Over-Representation Analysis (ORA) and Functional Class Scoring (FCS). Afterward, we introduce basic concepts of network biology and discuss how network analysis methods, such as Centrality Analysis, Network Clustering, and Network diffusion, can be used to potentiate the functional interpretation of omics data.
