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

Despite great progress, thousands of neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) risk genes remain to be discovered. We present a computational approach that accelerates NDD risk gene identification using machine learning. First, we demonstrate that models trained solely on single-cell RNA sequencing data can robustly predict genes implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), and developmental delay (DD). Notably, we find differences in gene expression patterns of genes with monoallelic and bi-allelic inheritance patterns in the developing human cortex. We then integrate expression data with 300 orthogonal features, including intolerance metrics, protein-protein interaction data, and others, in a semi-supervised machine learning framework (mantis-ml) to train inheritance-specific models for these disorders. The models have high predictive power (area under the receiver operator curves [AUCs]: 0.84-0.95), and the top-ranked genes were up to 2-fold (monoallelic models) and 6-fold (bi-allelic models) more enriched for high-confidence NDD risk genes compared to genic intolerance metrics alone. Additionally, genes ranking in the top decile were 45 to 180 times more likely to have literature support than those in the bottom decile. Collectively, this work provides robust NDD risk gene predictions that can complement large-scale gene discovery efforts and underscores the importance of considering inheritance in gene risk prediction.
