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

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are powerful tools to find complex patterns and biomarker signatures when conventional statistical methods fail to identify them. While the ML field made significant progress, state of the art methodologies to build efficient and non-overfitting models are not always applied in the literature. To this purpose, automatic programs, such as BioDiscML, were designed to identify biomarker signatures and correlated features while escaping overfitting using multiple evaluation strategies, such as cross validation, bootstrapping and repeated holdout. To further improve BioDiscML and reach a broader audience, better visualization support and flexibility in choosing the best models and signatures are needed. Thus, to provide researchers with an easily accessible and usable tool for in depth investigation of the results from BioDiscML outputs, we developed a visual interaction tool called BioDiscViz. This tool provides summaries, tables and graphics, in the form of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) plots, UMAP, t-SNE, heatmaps and boxplots for the best model and the correlated features. Furthermore, this tool also provides visual support to extract a consensus signature from BioDiscML models using a combination of filters. BioDiscViz will be a great visual support for research using ML, hence new opportunities in this field by opening it to a broader community.
