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

backgroundA collection of disease-associated data contributes to study the association between diseases. Discovering closely related diseases plays a crucial role in revealing their common pathogenic mechanisms. This might further imply treatment that can be appropriated from one disease to another. During the past decades, a number of approaches for calculating disease similarity have been developed. However, most of them are designed to take advantage of single or few data sources, which results in their low accuracy.

methodsIn this paper, we propose a novel method, called MultiSourcDSim, to calculate disease similarity by integrating multiple data sources, namely, gene-disease associations, GO biological process-disease associations and symptom-disease associations. Firstly, we establish three disease similarity networks according to the three disease-related data sources respectively. Secondly, the representation of each node is obtained by integrating the three small disease similarity networks. In the end, the learned representations are applied to calculate the similarity between diseases.

resultsOur approach shows the best performance compared to the other three popular methods. Besides, the similarity network built by MultiSourcDSim suggests that our method can also uncover the latent relationships between diseases.

conclusionsMultiSourcDSim is an efficient approach to predict similarity between diseases.
