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

motivationThe pathogenesis of diseases is closely associated with genes, and the discovery of disease genes holds significant importance for understanding disease mechanisms and designing targeted therapeutics. However, biological validation of all genes for diseases is expensive and challenging.

resultsIn this study, we propose DGP-AMIO, a computational method based on graph attention networks, to rank all unknown genes and identify potential novel disease genes by integrating multi-omics and gene interaction networks from multiple data sources. DGP-AMIO outperforms other methods significantly on 20 disease datasets, with an average AUROC and AUPR exceeding 0.9. The superior performance of DGP-AMIO is attributed to the integration of multiomics and gene interaction networks from multiple databases, as well as triGAT, a proposed GAT-based method that enables precise identification of disease genes in directed gene networks. Enrichment analysis conducted on the top 100 genes predicted by DGP-AMIO and literature research revealed that a majority of enriched GO terms, KEGG pathways and top genes were associated with diseases supported by relevant studies. We believe that our method can serve as an effective tool for identifying disease genes and guiding subsequent experimental validation efforts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: DGP-AMIO is publicly available at https://github.com/yangkaiyuan1027/DGP-AMIO.
