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

The advance of sequencing technologies has enabled a thorough molecular characterization of the genome in human cancers. To improve patient prognosis predictions and subsequent treatment strategies, it is imperative to develop advanced computational methods to analyze large-scale, high-dimensional genomic data. However, traditional machine learning methods face a challenge in handling the high-dimensional, low-sample size problem that is shown in most genomic data sets. To address this, our group has developed geometric network analysis techniques on multi-omics data in connection with prior biological knowledge derived from protein-protein interactions (PPIs) or pathways. Geometric features obtained from the genomic network, such as Ollivier-Ricci curvature and the invariant measure of the associated Markov chain, have been shown to be predictive of survival outcomes in various cancers. In this study, we propose a novel supervised deep learning method called geometric graph neural network (GGNN) that incorporates such geometric features into deep learning for enhanced predictive power and interpretability. More specifically, we utilize a state-of-the-art graph neural network with sparse connections between the hidden layers based on known biology of the PPI network and pathway information. Geometric features along with multi-omics data are then incorporated into the corresponding layers. The proposed approach utilizes a local-global principle in such a manner that highly predictive features are selected at the front layers and fed directly to the last layer for multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression modeling. The method was applied to multi-omics data from the CoMMpass study of multiple myeloma and ten major cancers in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). In most experiments, our method showed superior predictive performance compared to other alternative methods.
