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

We introduce a Unified Disentanglement Network (UFDN) trained on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which we refer to as UFDN-TCGA. We demonstrate that UFDN-TCGA learns a biologically relevant, low-dimensional latent space of high-dimensional gene expression data by applying our network to two classification tasks of cancer status and cancer type. UFDN-TCGA performs comparably to random forest methods. The UFDN allows for continuous, partial interpolation between distinct cancer types. Furthermore, we perform an analysis of differentially expressed genes between skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) samples and the same samples interpolated into glioblastoma (GBM). We demonstrate that our interpolations consist of relevant metagenes that recapitulate known glioblastoma mechanisms.
