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

The k nearest neighbor (kNN) approach is a simple and effective algorithm for classification and a number of variants have been proposed based on the kNN algorithm. One of the limitations of kNN is that the method may be less effective when data contains many noisy features due to their non-informative influence in calculating distance. Additionally, information derived from nearest neighbors may be less meaningful in high-dimensional data. To address the limitation of nearest-neighbor based approaches in high-dimensional data, we propose to extend the k conditional nearest neighbor (kCNN) method which is an effective variant of kNN. The proposed approach aggregates multiple kCNN classifiers, each constructed from a randomly sampled feature subset. We also develop a score metric to weigh individual classifiers based on the level of separation of the feature subsets. We investigate the properties of the proposed method using simulation. Moreover, the experiments on gene expression datasets show that the proposed method is promising in terms of predictive classification performance.
