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

backgroundDisease comorbidity is very common and has significant impact on disease treatment. Revealing the associations among diseases may help to understand the mechanisms of diseases, improve the prevention and treatment of diseases, and support the discovery of new drugs or new uses of existing drugs.

methodsIn this paper, we introduced a mathematical model to represent gene related diseases with a series of associated genes based on the overrepresentation of genes and diseases in PubMed literature. We also illustrated an efficient way to reveal the implicit connections between COPD and other diseases based on this model.

resultsWe applied this approach to analyze the relationships between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other diseases under the Lung diseases branch in the Medical subject heading index system and detected 4 novel diseases relevant to COPD. As judged by domain experts, the F score of our approach is up to 77.6%.

conclusionsThe results demonstrate the effectiveness of the gene fingerprint model for diseases on the basis of medical literature.
