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

backgroundIn the process of post-transcription, microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to various complex human diseases. Traditional verification methods for miRNA-disease associations take a lot of time and expense, so it is especially important to design computational methods for detecting potential associations. Considering the restrictions of previous computational methods for predicting potential miRNAs-disease associations, we develop the model of FKL-Spa-LapRLS (Fast Kernel Learning Sparse kernel Laplacian Regularized Least Squares) to break through the limitations.

resultFirst, we extract three miRNA similarity kernels and three disease similarity kernels. Then, we combine these kernels into a single kernel through the Fast Kernel Learning (FKL) model, and use sparse kernel (Spa) to eliminate noise in the integrated similarity kernel. Finally, we find the associations via Laplacian Regularized Least Squares (LapRLS). Based on three evaluation methods, global and local leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV), and 5-fold cross validation, the AUCs of our method achieve 0.9563, 0.8398 and 0.9535, thus it can be seen that our method is reliable. Then, we use case studies of eight neoplasms to further analyze the performance of our method. We find that most of the predicted miRNA-disease associations are confirmed by previous traditional experiments, and some important miRNAs should be paid more attention, which uncover more associations of various neoplasms than other miRNAs.

conclusionsOur proposed model can reveal miRNA-disease associations and improve the accuracy of correlation prediction for various diseases. Our method can be also easily extended with more similarity kernels.
