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

RNA modification is a post transcriptional modification that occurs in all organisms and plays a crucial role in the stages of RNA life, closely related to many life processes. As one of the newly discovered modifications, N1-methyladenosine (m1A) plays an important role in gene expression regulation, closely related to the occurrence and development of diseases. However, due to the low abundance of m1A, verifying the associations between m1As and diseases through wet experiments requires a great quantity of manpower and resources. In this study, we proposed a computational method for predicting the associations of RNA methylation and disease based on graph convolutional network (RMDGCN) with attention mechanism. We build an adjacency matrix through the collected m1As and diseases associations, and use positive-unlabeled learning to increase the number of positive samples. By extracting the features of m1As and diseases, a heterogeneous network is constructed, and a GCN with attention mechanism is adopted to predict the associations between m1As and diseases. The experimental results indicate that under a 5-fold cross validation, RMDGCN is superior to other methods (AUC = 0.9892 and AUPR = 0.8682). In addition, case studies indicate that RMDGCN can predict the relationships between unknown m1As and diseases. In summary, RMDGCN is an effective method for predicting the associations between m1As and diseases.
