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

Computational methods play an important role in the disease genes prioritisation by integrating many kinds of data sources such as gene expression, functional annotations and protein-protein interactions. However, the existing methods usually perform well in predicting highly linked genes, whereas they work quite poorly for loosely linked genes. Motivated by this observation, a degree-adjusted strategy is applied to improve the algorithm that was proposed earlier for the prediction of disease genes from gene expression and protein interactions. The authors also showed that the modified method is good at identifying loosely linked disease genes and the overall performance gets enhanced accordingly. This study suggests the importance of statistically adjusting the degree distribution bias in the background network for network-based modelling of complex diseases.
