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

Machine learning has become an important research field in genetics and molecular biology. Survival analysis using machine learning can provide an important computed-aid clinical research scheme for evaluating tumor treatment options. However, the genomic features are high-dimensional, which limits the prediction performance of the survival learning model. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an improved survival prediction model using a deep forest and self-supervised learning. It uses a deep survival forest to perform adaptive learning of high-dimensional genomic data and ensure robustness. In addition, self-supervised learning, as a semi-supervised learning style, is designed to utilize unlabeled samples to improve model performance. Based on four cancer datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms four advanced survival analysis methods in terms of the C-index and brier score. The developed prediction model will help doctors rethink patient characteristics' relevance to survival time and personalize treatment decisions.
