Data-driven learning of Boolean networks and functions by optimal causation entropy principle.

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
Boolean functions, and networks thereof, are useful for analysis of complex data systems, including from biological systems, bioinformatics, decision making, medical fields, and finance. However, automated learning of a Boolean networked function, from data, is a challenging task due in part to the large number of unknown structures of the network and the underlying functions. In this paper, we develop a new information theoretic methodology, called Boolean optimal causation entropy, that we show is significantly more efficient than previous approaches. Our method is computationally efficient and also resilient to noise. Furthermore, it allows for selection of features that best explains the process, described as a networked Boolean function reduced-order model. We highlight our method to the feature selection in several real-world examples: (1) diagnosis of urinary diseases, (2) cardiac single proton emission computed tomography diagnosis, (3) informative positions in the game Tic-Tac-Toe, and (4) risk causality analysis of loans in default status.
