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

Identifying disease-related microRNAs (miRNAs) is an essential but challenging task in bioinformatics research. Much effort has been devoted to discovering the underlying associations between miRNAs and diseases. However, most studies mainly focus on designing advanced methods to improve prediction accuracy while neglecting to investigate the link predictability of the relationships between miRNAs and diseases. In this work, we construct a heterogeneous network by integrating neighborhood information in the neural network to predict potential associations between miRNAs and diseases, which also consider the imbalance of datasets. We also employ a new computational method called a neural network model for miRNA-disease association prediction (NNMDA). This model predicts miRNA-disease associations by integrating multiple biological data resources. Comparison of our work with other algorithms reveals the reliable performance of NNMDA. Its average AUC score was 0.937 over 15 diseases in a 5-fold cross-validation and AUC of 0.8439 based on leave-one-out cross-validation. The results indicate that NNMDA could be used in evaluating the accuracy of miRNA-disease associations. Moreover, NNMDA was applied to two common human diseases in two types of case studies. In the first type, 26 out of the top 30 predicted miRNAs of lung neoplasms were confirmed by the experiments. In the second type of case study for new diseases without any known miRNAs related to it, we selected breast neoplasms as the test example by hiding the association information between the miRNAs and this disease. The results verified 50 out of the top 50 predicted breast-neoplasm-related miRNAs.
