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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs which bind to mRNAs and regulate their expression. MiRNAs have been found to be associated with initiation and progression of many complex diseases. Investigating miRNAs and their targets can thus help develop new therapies by designing anti-miRNA oligonucleotides. While existing computational approaches can predict miRNA targets, these predictions have low accuracy. In this paper, we propose a two-step approach to refine the results of sequence-based prediction algorithms. The first step, which is based on our previous work, uses an ensemble learning approach that combines multiple existing methods. The second step utilizes support vector machine (SVM) classifiers in one- and two-class modes to infer miRNA-mRNA interactions based on both binding features, as well as network features extracted from gene regulatory network. Experimental results using two real data sets from TCGA indicate that the use of two-class SVM classification significantly improves the precision of miRNA-mRNA prediction.
