FunlncModel: integrating multi-omic features from upstream and downstream regulatory networks into a machine learning framework to identify functional lncRNAs.

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
Accumulating evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in molecular and cellular biology. Although many algorithms have been developed to reveal their associations with complex diseases by using downstream targets, the upstream (epi)genetic regulatory information has not been sufficiently leveraged to predict the function of lncRNAs in various biological processes. Therefore, we present FunlncModel, a machine learning-based interpretable computational framework, which aims to screen out functional lncRNAs by integrating a large number of (epi)genetic features and functional genomic features from their upstream/downstream multi-omic regulatory networks. We adopted the random forest method to mine nearly 60 features in three categories from >2000 datasets across 11 data types, including transcription factors (TFs), histone modifications, typical enhancers, super-enhancers, methylation sites, and mRNAs. FunlncModel outperformed alternative methods for classification performance in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) (0.95 Area Under Curve (AUROC) and 0.97 Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve (AUPRC)). It could not only infer the most known lncRNAs that influence the states of stem cells, but also discover novel high-confidence functional lncRNAs. We extensively validated FunlncModel's efficacy by up to 27 cancer-related functional prediction tasks, which involved multiple cancer cell growth processes and cancer hallmarks. Meanwhile, we have also found that (epi)genetic regulatory features, such as TFs and histone modifications, serve as strong predictors for revealing the function of lncRNAs. Overall, FunlncModel is a strong and stable prediction model for identifying functional lncRNAs in specific cellular contexts.
