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

Genome-wide coexpression analysis of intact tissue samples is a powerful approach for identifying reproducible signatures of cell types and states, since it can survey vast numbers of individuals, cells, and transcripts. However, it can be difficult to optimize gene coexpression network construction and compare results from independent analyses. To address these challenges, we developed OMICON (theomicon.ucsf.edu) for research on human brain gene coexpression networks. OMICON contains gene expression data from >17K normal and neoplastic human brain samples with standardized metadata. Systematic analysis of independent datasets identified >250K gene coexpression modules, which were characterized and compared via enrichment analysis with >40K gene sets. All modules are discoverable via an advanced search engine that can filter by genes, metadata, and enrichment results. Analyses can also be browsed with an interactive workflow visualization tool, and users can communicate within OMICON using @mention functionality to support communal research on human brain gene coexpression networks.
