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

backgroundHigh-throughput biotechnologies have been widely used to characterize clinical samples from various perspectives e.g., epigenomics, genomics and transcriptomics. However, because of the heterogeneity of these technologies and their outputs, individual analysis of the various types of data is hard to create a comprehensive view of disease subtypes. Integrative methods are of pressing need.

methodsIn this study, we evaluated the possible issues that hamper integrative analysis of the heterogeneous disease data types, and proposed iBFE, an effective and efficient computational method to subvert those issues from a feature extraction perspective.

resultsStrict experiments on both simulated and real datasets demonstrated that iBFE can easily overcome issues caused by scale conflicts, noise conflicts, incompleteness of patient relationships, and conflicts between patient relationships, and that iBFE can effectively combine the merits of DNA methylation, mRNA expression and microRNA (miRNA) expression datasets to accurately identify disease subtypes of significantly different prognosis.

conclusionsiBFE is an effective and efficient method for integrative analysis of heterogeneous genomic data to accurately identify disease subtypes. The Matlab code of iBFE is freely available from http://zhangroup.aporc.org/iBFE.
