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

A genetic risk score could be beneficial in assisting clinical diagnosis for complex diseases with high heritability. With large-scale genome-wide association (GWA) data, the current study constructed a genetic risk model with a machine learning approach for bipolar disorder (BPD). The GWA dataset of BPD from the Genetic Association Information Network was used as the training data for model construction, and the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program (STEP) GWA data were used as the validation dataset. A random forest algorithm was applied for pre-filtered markers, and variable importance indices were assessed. 289 candidate markers were selected by random forest procedures with good discriminability; the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.944 (0.935-0.953) in the training set and 0.702 (0.681-0.723) in the STEP dataset. Using a score with the cutoff of 184, the sensitivity and specificity for BPD was 0.777 and 0.854, respectively. Pathway analyses revealed important biological pathways for identified genes. In conclusion, the present study identified informative genetic markers to differentiate BPD from healthy controls with acceptable discriminability in the validation dataset. In the future, diagnosis classification can be further improved by assessing more comprehensive clinical risk factors and jointly analysing them with genetic data in large samples.
