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

backgroundcircRNAs play an important role in drug resistance and cancer development. Recently, many studies have shown that the expressions of circRNAs in human cells can affect the sensitivity of cells to therapeutic drugs, thus significantly influencing the therapeutic effects of these drugs. Traditional biomedical experiments required to verify this sensitivity relationship are not only time-consuming but also expensive. Hence, the development of an efficient computational approach that can accurately predict the novel associations between drug sensitivities and circRNAs is a crucial and pressing need.

methodsIn this research, we present a novel computational framework called MNCLCDA, which aims to predict the potential associations between drug sensitivities and circRNAs to assist with medical research. First, MNCLCDA quantifies the similarity between the given drug and circRNA using drug structure information, circRNA gene sequence information, and GIP kernel information. Due to the existence of noise in similarity information, we employ a preprocessing approach based on random walk with restart for similarity networks to efficiently capture the useful features of circRNAs and drugs. Second, we use a mixed neighbourhood graph convolutional network to obtain the neighbourhood information of nodes. Then, a graph-based contrastive learning method is used to enhance the robustness of the model, and finally, a double Laplace-regularized least-squares method is used to predict potential circRNA-drug associations through the kernel matrices in the circRNA and drug spaces.

resultsNumerous experimental results show that MNCLCDA outperforms six other advanced methods. In addition, the excellent performance of our proposed model in case studies illustrates that MNCLCDA also has the ability to predict the associations between drug sensitivity and circRNA in practical situations.

conclusionsAfter a large number of experiments, it is illustrated that MNCLCDA is an efficient tool for predicting the potential associations between drug sensitivities and circRNAs, thereby can provide some guidance for clinical trials.
