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

motivationmethyLImp, a method we recently introduced for the missing value estimation of DNA methylation data, has demonstrated competitive performance in data imputation compared to the existing, general-purpose, approaches. However, imputation running time was considerably long and unfeasible in case of large datasets with numerous missing values.

resultsmethyLImp2 made possible computations that were previously unfeasible. We achieved this by introducing two important modifications that have significantly reduced the original running time without sacrificing prediction performance. First, we implemented a chromosome-wise parallel version of methyLImp. This parallelization reduced the runtime by several 10-fold in our experiments. Then, to handle large datasets, we also introduced a mini-batch approach that uses only a subset of the samples for the imputation. Thus, it further reduces the running time from days to hours or even minutes in large datasets. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The R package methyLImp2 is under review for Bioconductor. It is currently freely available on Github https://github.com/annaplaksienko/methyLImp2.
