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

Screening agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals for potential liver toxicity is required for regulatory approval and is an expensive and time-consuming process. The identification and utilization of early exposure gene signatures and robust predictive models in regulatory toxicity testing has the potential to reduce time and costs substantially. In this study, comparative supervised machine learning approaches were applied to the rat liver TG-GATEs dataset to develop feature selection and predictive testing. We identified ten gene biomarkers using three different feature selection methods that predicted liver necrosis with high specificity and selectivity in an independent validation dataset from the Microarray Quality Control (MAQC)-II study. Nine of the ten genes that were selected with the supervised methods are involved in metabolism and detoxification (Car3, Crat, Cyp39a1, Dcd, Lbp, Scly, Slc23a1, and Tkfc) and transcriptional regulation (Ablim3). Several of these genes are also implicated in liver carcinogenesis, including Crat, Car3 and Slc23a1. Our biomarker gene signature provides high statistical accuracy and a manageable number of genes to study as indicators to potentially accelerate toxicity testing based on their ability to induce liver necrosis and, eventually, liver cancer.
