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

backgroundDNA methylation-regulated genes have been demonstrated as the crucial participants in the occurrence of coronary heart disease (CHD). The machine learning based on DNA methylation-regulated genes has tremendous potential for mining non-invasive predictive biomarkers and exploring underlying new mechanisms of CHD.

resultsFirst, the 2085 age-gender-matched individuals in Framingham Heart Study (FHS) were randomly divided into training set and validation set. We then integrated methylome and transcriptome data of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from the training set to probe into the methylation and expression patterns of CHD-related genes. A total of five hub DNA methylation-regulated genes were identified in CHD through dimensionality reduction, including ATG7, BACH2, CDKN1B, DHCR24 and MPO. Subsequently, methylation and expression features of the hub DNA methylation-regulated genes were used to construct machine learning models for CHD prediction by LightGBM, XGBoost and Random Forest. The optimal model established by LightGBM exhibited favorable predictive capacity, whose AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.834, 0.672, 0.864 in the validation set, respectively. Furthermore, the methylation and expression statuses of the hub genes were verified in monocytes using methylation microarray and transcriptome sequencing. The methylation statuses of ATG7, DHCR24 and MPO and the expression statuses of ATG7, BACH2 and DHCR24 in monocytes of our study population were consistent with those in PBLs from FHS.

conclusionsWe identified five DNA methylation-regulated genes based on a predictive model for CHD using machine learning, which may clue the new epigenetic mechanism for CHD.
