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

It is becoming increasingly clear that major malignancies such as breast, colorectal and gastric cancers are not single disease entities, but comprising multiple cancer subtypes of distinct molecular properties. Molecular subtyping has been widely used to dissect inter-tumor biological heterogeneity, in relation to clinical outcomes. A key step of this methodology is to perform unsupervised classification of gene expression profiles, which, however, often suffers challenges of high-dimensionality, feature redundancy as well as noise and irrelevant information. To overcome these limitations, we propose ELM-CC, which employs hidden observation features obtained from extreme learning machines (ELMs) for cancer classification. To demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness, we applied ELM-CC for gastric and ovarian cancer subtyping. Comparing with the widely-used consensus clustering method, our approach demonstrated much better clustering performance and identified molecular subtypes that are much more clinically relevant.
