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

backgroundUnderstanding the genetic networks and their role in chronic diseases (e.g., cancer) is one of the important objectives of biological researchers. In this work, we present a text mining system that constructs a gene-gene-interaction network for the entire human genome and then performs network analysis to identify disease-related genes. We recognize the interacting genes based on their co-occurrence frequency within the biomedical literature and by employing linear and non-linear rare-event classification models. We analyze the constructed network of genes by using different network centrality measures to decide on the importance of each gene. Specifically, we apply betweenness, closeness, eigenvector, and degree centrality metrics to rank the central genes of the network and to identify possible cancer-related genes.

resultsWe evaluated the top 15 ranked genes for different cancer types (i.e., Prostate, Breast, and Lung Cancer). The average precisions for identifying breast, prostate, and lung cancer genes vary between 80-100%. On a prostate case study, the system predicted an average of 80% prostate-related genes.

conclusionsThe results show that our system has the potential for improving the prediction accuracy of identifying gene-gene interaction and disease-gene associations. We also conduct a prostate cancer case study by using the threshold property in logistic regression, and we compare our approach with some of the state-of-the-art methods.
