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

Predictive models trained on sequencing profiles often fail to achieve expected performance when externally validated on unseen profiles. While many factors such as batch effects, small data sets, and technical errors contribute to the gap between source and unseen data distributions, it is a challenging problem to generalize the predictive models across studies without any prior knowledge of the unseen data distribution. Here, this study proposes DeepBioGen, a sequencing profile augmentation procedure that characterizes visual patterns of sequencing profiles, generates realistic profiles based on a deep generative model capturing the patterns, and generalizes the subsequent classifiers. DeepBioGen outperforms other methods in terms of enhancing the generalizability of the prediction models on unseen data. The generalized classifiers surpass the state-of-the-art method, evaluated on RNA sequencing tumor expression profiles for anti-PD1 therapy response prediction and WGS human gut microbiome profiles for type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
