Few-shot prediction of amyloid β accumulation from mainly unpaired data on biomarker candidates.
Article in NPJ systems biology and applications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 pair-wise observation of the input and target values obtained from the same sample is mandatory in any prediction problem. In the biomarker discovery of Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, obtaining such paired data is laborious and often avoided. Accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in the brain precedes neurodegeneration in AD, and the quantitative accumulation level may reflect disease progression in the very early phase. Nevertheless, the direct observation of Aβ is rarely paired with the observation of other biomarker candidates. To this end, we established a method that quantitatively predicts Aβ accumulation from biomarker candidates by integrating the mostly unpaired observations via a few-shot learning approach. When applied to 5xFAD mouse behavioral data, the proposed method predicted the accumulation level that conformed to the observed amount of Aβ in the samples with paired data. The results suggest that the proposed model can contribute to discovering Aβ predictability-based biomarkers.
