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

summaryFederated learning enables collaboration in medicine, where data is scattered across multiple centers without the need to aggregate the data in a central cloud. While, in general, machine learning models can be applied to a wide range of data types, graph neural networks (GNNs) are particularly developed for graphs, which are very common in the biomedical domain. For instance, a patient can be represented by a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network where the nodes contain the patient-specific omics features. Here, we present our Ensemble-GNN software package, which can be used to deploy federated, ensemble-based GNNs in Python. Ensemble-GNN allows to quickly build predictive models utilizing PPI networks consisting of various node features such as gene expression and/or DNA methylation. We exemplary show the results from a public dataset of 981 patients and 8469 genes from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The source code is available at https://github.com/pievos101/Ensemble-GNN, and the data at Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8305122).
