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

backgroundPathway-based analysis of transcriptomic data has shown greater stability and better performance than traditional gene-based analysis. Until now, some pathway-based deep learning models have been developed for bioinformatic analysis, but these models have not fully considered the topological features of pathways, which limits the performance of the final prediction result.

resultsTo address this issue, we propose a novel model, called PathGNN, which constructs a Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) model that can capture topological features of pathways. As a case, PathGNN was applied to predict long-term survival of four types of cancer and achieved promising predictive performance when compared to other common methods. Furthermore, the adoption of an interpretation algorithm enabled the identification of plausible pathways associated with survival.

conclusionPathGNN demonstrates that GNN can be effectively applied to build a pathway-based model, resulting in promising predictive power.
