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

Motivation: Being able to interpret and explain the predictions made by a machine learning model is of fundamental importance. Unfortunately, a trade-off between accuracy and interpretability is often observed. As a result, the interest in developing more transparent yet powerful models has grown considerably over the past few years. Interpretable models are especially needed in high-stake scenarios, such as computational biology and medical informatics, where erroneous or biased models' predictions can have deleterious consequences for a patient. Furthermore, understanding the inner workings of a model can help increase the trust in the model. Results: We introduce a novel structurally constrained neural network, Availability and implementation: Code and sample data are available at https://github.com/phineasng/mononet.
