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

In the present study, we introduce a novel semi-supervised method called the semi-supervised maximum discriminative local margin (semiMM) for gene selection in expression data. The semiMM is a "filter" approach that exploits local structure, variance, and mutual information. We first constructed a local nearest neighbour graph and divided this information into within-class and between-class local nearest neighbour graphs by weighing the edge between the two data points. The semiMM aims to discover the most discriminative features for classification via maximizing the local margin between the within-class and between-class data, the variance of all data, and the mutual information of features with class labels. Experiments on five publicly available gene expression datasets revealed the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to three state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms.
