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

Gene expression is the basis for cells to achieve various functions, while DNA methylation constitutes a critical epigenetic mechanism governing gene expression regulation. Here we propose DeepMethyGene, an adaptive recursive convolutional neural network model based on ResNet that predicts gene expression using DNA methylation information. Our model transforms methylation Beta values to M values for Gaussian distributed data optimization, dynamically adjusts the output channels according to input dimension, and implements residual blocks to mitigate the problem of gradient vanishing when training very deep networks.
