Ensemble decision of local similarity indices on the biological network for disease related gene prediction.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Link prediction (LP) is a task for the identification of potential, missing and spurious links in complex networks. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are important for understanding the underlying biological mechanisms of diseases. Many complex networks have been constructed using LP methods; however, there are a limited number of studies that focus on disease-related gene predictions and evaluate these genes using various evaluation criteria. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of a simple ensemble method in disease related gene predictions. Local similarity indices (LSIs) based disease related gene predictions were integrated by a simple ensemble decision method, simple majority voting (SMV), on the PPI network to detect accurate disease related genes. Human PPI network was utilized to discover potential disease related genes using four LSIs for the gene prediction. LSIs discovered potential links between disease related genes, which were obtained from OMIM database for gastric, colorectal, breast, prostate and lung cancers. LSIs based disease related genes were ranked due to their LSI scores in descending order for retrieving the top 10, 50 and 100 disease related genes. SMV integrated four LSIs based predictions to obtain SMV based the top 10, 50 and 100 disease related genes. The performance of LSIs based and SMV based genes were evaluated separately by employing overlap analyses, which were performed with GeneCard disease-gene relation dataset and Gene Ontology (GO) terms. The GO-terms were used for biological assessment for the inferred gene lists by LSIs and SMV on all cancer types. Adamic-Adar (AA), Resource Allocation Index (RAI), and SMV based gene lists are generally achieved good performance results on all cancers in both overlap analyses. SMV also outperformed on breast cancer data. The increment in the selection of the number of the top ranked disease related genes also enhanced the performance results of SMV.
