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

backgroundIt's a very urgent task to identify cancer genes that enables us to understand the mechanisms of biochemical processes at a biomolecular level and facilitates the development of bioinformatics. Although a large number of methods have been proposed to identify cancer genes at recent times, the biological data utilized by most of these methods is still quite less, which reflects an insufficient consideration of the relationship between genes and diseases from a variety of factors.

resultsIn this paper, we propose a two-rounds random walk algorithm to identify cancer genes based on multiple biological data (TRWR-MB), including protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, pathway network, microRNA similarity network, lncRNA similarity network, cancer similarity network and protein complexes. In the first-round random walk, all cancer nodes, cancer-related genes, cancer-related microRNAs and cancer-related lncRNAs, being associated with all the cancer, are used as seed nodes, and then a random walker walks on a quadruple layer heterogeneous network constructed by multiple biological data. The first-round random walk aims to select the top score k of potential cancer genes. Then in the second-round random walk, genes, microRNAs and lncRNAs, being associated with a certain special cancer in corresponding cancer class, are regarded as seed nodes, and then the walker walks on a new quadruple layer heterogeneous network constructed by lncRNAs, microRNAs, cancer and selected potential cancer genes. After the above walks finish, we combine the results of two-rounds RWR as ranking score for experimental analysis. As a result, a higher value of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is obtained. Besides, cases studies for identifying new cancer genes are performed in corresponding section.

conclusionIn summary, TRWR-MB integrates multiple biological data to identify cancer genes by analyzing the relationship between genes and cancer from a variety of biological molecular perspective.
