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

backgroundIn recent years, increasing evidences have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deeply involved in a wide range of human biological pathways. The mutations and disorders of lncRNAs are closely associated with many human diseases. Therefore, it is of great importance to predict potential associations between lncRNAs and complex diseases for the diagnosis and cure of complex diseases. However, the functional mechanisms of the majority of lncRNAs are still remain unclear. As a result, it remains a great challenge to predict potential associations between lncRNAs and diseases.

resultsHere, we proposed a new method to predict potential lncRNA-disease associations. First, we constructed a bipartite network based on known associations between diseases and lncRNAs/protein coding genes. Then the cluster association scores were calculated to evaluate the strength of the inner relationships between disease clusters and gene clusters. Finally, the gene-disease association scores are defined based on disease-gene cluster association scores and used to measure the strength for potential gene-disease associations.

conclusionsLeave-One Out Cross Validation (LOOCV) and 5-fold cross validation tests were implemented to evaluate the performance of our method. As a result, our method achieved reliable performance in the LOOCV (AUCs of 0.8169 and 0.8410 based on Yang's dataset and Lnc2cancer 2.0 database, respectively), and 5-fold cross validation (AUCs of 0.7573 and 0.8198 based on Yang's dataset and Lnc2cancer 2.0 database, respectively), which were significantly higher than the other three comparative methods. Furthermore, our method is simple and efficient. Only the known gene-disease associations are exploited in a graph manner and further new gene-disease associations can be easily incorporated in our model. The results for melanoma and ovarian cancer have been verified by other researches. The case studies indicated that our method can provide informative clues for further investigation.
