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

backgroundStudies have found that miRNAs play an important role in many biological activities involved in human diseases. Revealing the associations between miRNA and disease by biological experiments is time-consuming and expensive. The computational approaches provide a new alternative. However, because of the limited knowledge of the associations between miRNAs and diseases, it is difficult to support the prediction model effectively.

methodsIn this work, we propose a model to predict miRNA-disease associations, MDAPCOM, in which protein information associated with miRNAs and diseases is introduced to build a global miRNA-protein-disease network. Subsequently, diffusion features and HeteSim features, extracted from the global network, are combined to train the prediction model by eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost).

resultsThe MDAPCOM model achieves AUC of 0.991 based on 10-fold cross-validation, which is significantly better than that of other two state-of-the-art methods RWRMDA and PRINCE. Furthermore, the model performs well on three unbalanced data sets.

conclusionsThe results suggest that the information behind proteins associated with miRNAs and diseases is crucial to the prediction of the associations between miRNAs and diseases, and the hybrid feature representation in the heterogeneous network is very effective for improving predictive performance.
