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

It is reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in various human diseases. However, the mechanisms of miRNA in these diseases have not been fully understood. Therefore, detecting potential miRNA-disease associations has far-reaching significance for pathological development and the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases. In this study, we propose a novel diffusion-based computational method, DF-MDA, for predicting miRNA-disease association based on the assumption that molecules are related to each other in human physiological processes. Specifically, we first construct a heterogeneous network by integrating various known associations among miRNAs, diseases, proteins, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and drugs. Then, more representative features are extracted through a diffusion-based machine-learning method. Finally, the Random Forest classifier is adopted to classify miRNA-disease associations. In the 5-fold cross-validation experiment, the proposed model obtained the average area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9321 on the HMDD v3.0 dataset. To further verify the prediction performance of the proposed model, DF-MDA was applied in three significant human diseases, including lymphoma, lung neoplasms, and colon neoplasms. As a result, 47, 46, and 47 out of top 50 predictions were validated by independent databases. These experimental results demonstrated that DF-MDA is a reliable and efficient method for predicting potential miRNA-disease associations.
