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

Cancer subtype classification helps us to understand the pathogenesis of cancer and develop new cancer drugs, treatment from which patients would benefit most. Most previous studies detect cancer subtypes by extracting features from individual samples, ignoring their associations with others. We believe that the interactions of cancer samples can help identify cancer subtypes. This work proposes a cancer subtype classification method based on a residual graph convolutional network and a sample similarity network. First, we constructed a sample similarity network regarding cancer gene co-expression patterns. Then, the gene expression profiles of cancer samples as initial features and the sample similarity network were passed into a two-layer graph convolutional network (GCN) model. We introduced the initial features to the GCN model to avoid over-smoothing during the training process. Finally, the classification of cancer subtypes was obtained through a softmax activation function. Our model was applied to breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and lung cancer (LUNG) datasets. The accuracy values of our model reached 82.58%, 85.13% and 79.18% for BRCA, GBM and LUNG, respectively, which outperformed the existing methods. The survival analysis of our results proves the significant clinical features of the cancer subtypes identified by our model. Moreover, we can leverage our model to detect the essential genes enriched in gene ontology (GO) terms and the biological pathways related to a cancer subtype.
