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

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) enables a holistic understanding of the complex and nonlinear relationships between genes and prognostic outcomes of cancer patients. In this study, we focus on a distinct aspect of XAI - to generate accurate and biologically relevant hypotheses and provide a shorter and more creative path to advance medical research. We present an XAI-driven approach to discover otherwise unknown genetic biomarkers as potential therapeutic targets in high-grade serous ovarian cancer, evidenced by the discovery of IL27RA, which leads to reduced peritoneal metastases when knocked down in tumor-carrying mice given IL27-siRNA-DOPC nanoparticles. Summary: Explainable Artificial Intelligence is amenable to generating biologically relevant testable hypotheses despite their limitations due to explanations originating from post hoc realizations.
