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

backgroundDespite clear evidence of nonlinear interactions in the molecular architecture of polygenic diseases, linear models have so far appeared optimal in genotype-to-phenotype modeling. A key bottleneck for such modeling is that genetic data intrinsically suffers from underdetermination ([Formula: see text]). Millions of variants are present in each individual while the collection of large, homogeneous cohorts is hindered by phenotype incidence, sequencing cost, and batch effects.

resultsWe demonstrate that when we provide enough training data and control the complexity of nonlinear models, a neural network outperforms additive approaches in whole exome sequencing-based inflammatory bowel disease case-control prediction. To do so, we propose a biologically meaningful sparsified neural network architecture, providing empirical evidence for positive and negative epistatic effects present in the inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis.

conclusionsIn this paper, we show that underdetermination is likely a major driver for the apparent optimality of additive modeling in clinical genetics today.
