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

backgroundThe Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is one of the most popular bioinformatics resources. Recently, HPO-based phenotype semantic similarity has been effectively applied to model patient phenotype data. However, the existing tools are revised based on the Gene Ontology (GO)-based term similarity. The design of the models are not optimized for the unique features of HPO. In addition, existing tools only allow HPO terms as input and only provide pure text-based outputs.

resultsWe present PhenoSimWeb, a web application that allows researchers to measure HPO-based phenotype semantic similarities using four approaches borrowed from GO-based similarity measurements. Besides, we provide a approach considering the unique properties of HPO. And, PhenoSimWeb allows text that describes phenotypes as input, since clinical phenotype data is always in text. PhenoSimWeb also provides a graphic visualization interface to visualize the resulting phenotype network.

conclusionsPhenoSimWeb is an easy-to-use and functional online application. Researchers can use it to calculate phenotype similarity conveniently, predict phenotype associated genes or diseases, and visualize the network of phenotype interactions. PhenoSimWeb is available at http://120.77.47.2:8080.
