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

Real-world objects are usually defined in terms of their own relationships or connections. A graph (or network) naturally expresses this model though nodes and edges. In biology, depending on what the nodes and edges represent, we may classify several types of networks, gene-disease associations (GDAs) included. In this paper, we presented a solution based on a graph neural network (GNN) for the identification of candidate GDAs. We trained our model with an initial set of well-known and curated inter- and intra-relationships between genes and diseases. It was based on graph convolutions, making use of multiple convolutional layers and a point-wise non-linearity function following each layer. The embeddings were computed for the input network built on a set of GDAs to map each node into a vector of real numbers in a multidimensional space. Results showed an AUC of 95% for training, validation, and testing, that in the real case translated into a positive response for 93% of the Top-15 (highest dot product) candidate GDAs identified by our solution. The experimentation was conducted on the DisGeNET dataset, while the DiseaseGene Association Miner (DG-AssocMiner) dataset by Stanford's BioSNAP was also processed for performance evaluation only.
