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

backgroundEmerging evidences show that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in many human complex diseases. However, considering the inherent time-consuming and expensive of traditional in vitro experiments, more and more attention has been paid to the development of efficient and feasible computational methods to predict the potential associations between miRNA and disease.

methodsIn this work, we present a machine learning-based model called MLMDA for predicting the association of miRNAs and diseases. More specifically, we first use the k-mer sparse matrix to extract miRNA sequence information, and combine it with miRNA functional similarity, disease semantic similarity and Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity information. Then, more representative features are extracted from them through deep auto-encoder neural network (AE). Finally, the random forest classifier is used to effectively predict potential miRNA-disease associations.

resultsThe experimental results show that the MLMDA model achieves promising performance under fivefold cross validations with AUC values of 0.9172, which is higher than the methods using different classifiers or different feature combination methods mentioned in this paper. In addition, to further evaluate the prediction performance of MLMDA model, case studies are carried out with three Human complex diseases including Lymphoma, Lung Neoplasm, and Esophageal Neoplasms. As a result, 39, 37 and 36 out of the top 40 predicted miRNAs are confirmed by other miRNA-disease association databases.

conclusionsThese prominent experimental results suggest that the MLMDA model could serve as a useful tool guiding the future experimental validation for those promising miRNA biomarker candidates. The source code and datasets explored in this work are available at http://220.171.34.3:81/ .
