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

Transfer learning provides a powerful tool for incorporating data from related studies into a target study of interest. In epidemiology and medical studies, the classification of a target disease could borrow information across other related diseases and populations. In this work, we consider transfer learning for high-dimensional generalized linear models (GLMs). A novel algorithm, TransHDGLM, that integrates data from the target study and the source studies is proposed. Minimax rate of convergence for estimation is established and the proposed estimator is shown to be rate-optimal. Statistical inference for the target regression coefficients is also studied. Asymptotic normality for a debiased estimator is established, which can be used for constructing coordinate-wise confidence intervals of the regression coefficients. Numerical studies show significant improvement in estimation and inference accuracy over GLMs that only use the target data. The proposed methods are applied to a real data study concerning the classification of colorectal cancer using gut microbiomes, and are shown to enhance the classification accuracy in comparison to methods that only use the target data.
