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

backgroundPrioritizing genes according to their associations with a cancer allows researchers to explore genes in more informed ways. By far, Gene-centric or network-centric gene prioritization methods are predominated. Genes and their protein products carry out cellular processes in the context of functional modules. Dysfunctional gene modules have been previously reported to have associations with cancer. However, gene module information has seldom been considered in cancer-related gene prioritization.

resultsIn this study, we propose a novel method, MGOGP (Module and Gene Ontology-based Gene Prioritization), for cancer-related gene prioritization. Different from other methods, MGOGP ranks genes considering information of both individual genes and their affiliated modules, and utilize Gene Ontology (GO) based fuzzy measure value as well as known cancer-related genes as heuristics. The performance of the proposed method is comprehensively validated by using both breast cancer and prostate cancer datasets, and by comparison with other methods. Results show that MGOGP outperforms other methods, and successfully prioritizes more genes with literature confirmed evidence.

conclusionsThis work will aid researchers in the understanding of the genetic architecture of complex diseases, and improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the effectiveness of therapy.
