Pairwise Biological Network Alignment Based on Discrete Bat Algorithm.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 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
The development of high-throughput technology has provided a reliable technical guarantee for an increased amount of available data on biological networks. Network alignment is used to analyze these data to identify conserved functional network modules and understand evolutionary relationships across species. Thus, an efficient computational network aligner is needed for network alignment. In this paper, the classic bat algorithm is discretized and applied to the network alignment. The bat algorithm initializes the population randomly and then searches for the optimal solution iteratively. Based on the bat algorithm, the global pairwise alignment algorithm BatAlign is proposed. In BatAlign, the individual velocity and the position are represented by a discrete code. BatAlign uses a search algorithm based on objective function that uses the number of conserved edges as the objective function. The similarity between the networks is used to initialize the population. The experimental results showed that the algorithm was able to match proteins with high functional consistency and reach a relatively high topological quality.
