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

Determining the tissue- and disease-specific circuit of biological pathways remains a fundamental goal of molecular biology. Many components of these biological pathways still remain unknown, hindering the full and accurate characterization of biological processes of interest. Here we describe ACSNI, an algorithm that combines prior knowledge of biological processes with a deep neural network to effectively decompose gene expression profiles (GEPs) into multi-variable pathway activities and identify unknown pathway components. Experiments on public GEP data show that ACSNI predicts cogent components of mTOR, ATF2, and HOTAIRM1 signaling that recapitulate regulatory information from genetic perturbation and transcription factor binding datasets. Our framework provides a fast and easy-to-use method to identify components of signaling pathways as a tool for molecular mechanism discovery and to prioritize genes for designing future targeted experiments (https://github.com/caanene1/ACSNI).
