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

motivationGraph neural network (GNN) models have emerged in many fields and notably for biological networks constituted by genes or proteins and their interactions. The majority of enrichment study methods apply over-representation analysis and gene/protein set scores according to the existing overlap between pathways. Such methods neglect knowledges coming from the interactions between the gene/protein sets. Here, we introduce a novel GNN-based enrichment analysis method called GNNenrich. GNNenrich, through multiple levels of embedding that integrate protein sequence properties and interactions network, establishes functional relationship to support biological interpretation.

resultsGNNenrich have been tested and compared to over-representation analysis technique (g:Profiler) and graph-based method (EnrichNet). It demonstrates the capacity to reproduce results provided by others approaches and offers new perspectives for interpretation, returning relevant results supported by protein-protein interactions (PPIs).
