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

backgroundPlenty of clinical and biomedical research has unequivocally highlighted the tremendous significance of the human microbiome in relation to human health. Identifying microbes associated with diseases is crucial for early disease diagnosis and advancing precision medicine.

resultsConsidering that the information about changes in microbial quantities under fine-grained disease states helps to enhance a comprehensive understanding of the overall data distribution, this study introduces MSignVGAE, a framework for predicting microbe-disease sign associations using signed message propagation. MSignVGAE employs a graph variational autoencoder to model noisy signed association data and extends the multi-scale concept to enhance representation capabilities. A novel strategy for propagating signed message in signed networks addresses heterogeneity and consistency among nodes connected by signed edges. Additionally, we utilize the idea of denoising autoencoder to handle the noise in similarity feature information, which helps overcome biases in the fused similarity data. MSignVGAE represents microbe-disease associations as a heterogeneous graph using similarity information as node features. The multi-class classifier XGBoost is utilized to predict sign associations between diseases and microbes.

conclusionsMSignVGAE achieves AUROC and AUPR values of 0.9742 and 0.9601, respectively. Case studies on three diseases demonstrate that MSignVGAE can effectively capture a comprehensive distribution of associations by leveraging signed information.
