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

backgroundIdentification of miRNA-disease associations has attracted much attention recently due to the functional roles of miRNAs implicated in various biological and pathological processes. Great efforts have been made to discover the potential associations between miRNAs and diseases both experimentally and computationally. Although reliable, the experimental methods are in general time-consuming and labor-intensive. In comparison, computational methods are more efficient and applicable to large-scale datasets.

methodsIn this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised model to predict miRNA-disease associations via

resultsCompared with four state-of-the-art prediction methods, our method achieved favorable performance with AUCs of 0.943 and 0.946 in both global LOOCV and local LOOCV, respectively. In addition, we carried out three types of case studies on five common human diseases, and most of the top 50 predicted miRNAs were confirmed to be associated with the investigated diseases by four databases dbDEMC, PheomiR, miR2Disease and miRwayDB. Specifically, our results provided potential evidence that miRNAs within the same family or cluster were likely to play functional roles together in given diseases.

conclusionsTaken together, the experimental results clearly demonstrated the utility of the proposed method. We anticipated that our method could serve as a reliable and efficient tool for miRNA-disease association prediction.
