Coupling sparse Cox models with clustering of longitudinal transcriptomics data for trauma prognosis.
Article in BioData mining, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundLongitudinal gene expression analysis and survival modeling have been proved to add valuable biological and clinical knowledge. This study proposes a novel framework to discover gene signatures and patterns in a high-dimensional time series transcriptomics data and to assess their association with hospital length of stay.
methodsWe investigated a longitudinal and high-dimensional gene expression dataset from 168 blunt-force trauma patients followed during the first 28 days after injury. To model the length of stay, an initial dimensionality reduction step was performed by applying Cox regression with elastic net regularization using gene expression data from the first hospitalization days. Also, a novel methodology to impute missing values to the genes selected previously was proposed. We then applied multivariate time series (MTS) clustering to analyse gene expression over time and to stratify patients with similar trajectories. The validation of the patients' partitions obtained by MTS clustering was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests.
resultsWe were able to unravel 22 genes strongly associated with hospital's discharge. Their expression values in the first days after trauma showed to be good predictors of the length of stay. The proposed mixed imputation method allowed to achieve a complete dataset of short time series with a minimum loss of information for the 28 days of follow-up. MTS clustering enabled to group patients with similar genes trajectories and, notably, with similar discharge days from the hospital. Patients within each cluster have comparable genes' trajectories and may have an analogous response to injury.
conclusionThe proposed framework was able to tackle the joint analysis of time-to-event information with longitudinal multivariate high-dimensional data. The application to length of stay and transcriptomics data revealed a strong relationship between gene expression trajectory and patients' recovery, which may improve trauma patient's management by healthcare systems. The proposed methodology can be easily adapted to other medical data, towards more effective clinical decision support systems for health applications.
