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

backgroundBiological experiments have confirmed the association between miRNAs and various diseases. However, such experiments are costly and time consuming. Computational methods help select potential disease-related miRNAs to improve the efficiency of biological experiments.

methodsIn this work, we develop a novel method using multiple types of data to calculate miRNA and disease similarity based on mutual information, and add miRNA family and cluster information to predict human disease-related miRNAs (FCMDAP). This method not only depends on known miRNA-diseases associations but also accurately measures miRNA and disease similarity and resolves the problem of overestimation. FCMDAP uses the k most similar neighbor recommendation algorithm to predict the association score between miRNA and disease. Information about miRNA cluster is also used to improve prediction accuracy.

resultFCMDAP achieves an average AUC of 0.9165 based on leave-one-out cross validation. Results confirm the 100, 98 and 96% of the top 50 predicted miRNAs reported in case studies on colorectal, lung, and pancreatic neoplasms. FCMDAP also exhibits satisfactory performance in predicting diseases without any related miRNAs and miRNAs without any related diseases.

conclusionsIn this study, we present a computational method FCMDAP to improve the prediction accuracy of disease related miRNAs. FCMDAP could be an effective tool for further biological experiments.
