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

backgroundWe used a hybrid machine learning systems (HMLS) strategy that includes the extensive search for the discovery of the most optimal HMLSs, including feature selection algorithms, a feature extraction algorithm, and classifiers for diagnosing breast cancer. Hence, this study aims to obtain a high-importance transcriptome profile linked with classification procedures that can facilitate the early detection of breast cancer.

methodsIn the present study, 762 breast cancer patients and 138 solid tissue normal subjects were included. Three groups of machine learning (ML) algorithms were employed: (i) four feature selection procedures are employed and compared to select the most valuable feature: (1) ANOVA; (2) Mutual Information; (3) Extra Trees Classifier; and (4) Logistic Regression (LGR), (ii) a feature extraction algorithm (Principal Component Analysis), iii) we utilized 13 classification algorithms accompanied with automated ML hyperparameter tuning, including (1) LGR; (2) Support Vector Machine; (3) Bagging; (4) Gaussian Naive Bayes; (5) Decision Tree; (6) Gradient Boosting Decision Tree; (7) K Nearest Neighborhood; (8) Bernoulli Naive Bayes; (9) Random Forest; (10) AdaBoost, (11) ExtraTrees; (12) Linear Discriminant Analysis; and (13) Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). For evaluating the proposed models' performance, balance accuracy and area under the curve (AUC) were used.

resultsFeature selection procedure LGR + MLP classifier achieved the highest prediction accuracy and AUC (balanced accuracy: 0.86, AUC = 0.94), followed by an LGR + LGR classifier (balanced accuracy: 0.84, AUC = 0.94). The results showed that achieved AUC for the LGR + LGR classifier belonged to the 20 biomarkers as follows: TMEM212, SNORD115-13, ATP1A4, FRG2, CFHR4, ZCCHC13, FLJ46361, LY6G6E, ZNF323, KRT28, KRT25, LPPR5, C10orf99, PRKACG, SULT2A1, GRIN2C, EN2, GBA2, CUX2, and SNORA66.

conclusionsThe best performance was achieved using the LGR feature selection procedure and MLP classifier. Results show that the 20 biomarkers had the highest score or ranking in breast cancer detection.
