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

motivationOver the past years, many computational methods have been developed to incorporate information about phenotypes for disease-gene prioritization task. These methods generally compute the similarity between a patient's phenotypes and a database of gene-phenotype to find the most phenotypically similar match. The main limitation in these methods is their reliance on knowledge about phenotypes associated with particular genes, which is not complete in humans as well as in many model organisms, such as the mouse and fish. Information about functions of gene products and anatomical site of gene expression is available for more genes and can also be related to phenotypes through ontologies and machine-learning models.

resultsWe developed a novel graph-based machine-learning method for biomedical ontologies, which is able to exploit axioms in ontologies and other graph-structured data. Using our machine-learning method, we embed genes based on their associated phenotypes, functions of the gene products and anatomical location of gene expression. We then develop a machine-learning model to predict gene-disease associations based on the associations between genes and multiple biomedical ontologies, and this model significantly improves over state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we extend phenotype-based gene prioritization methods significantly to all genes, which are associated with phenotypes, functions or site of expression.
