From: Compensating for literature annotation bias when predicting novel drug-disease relationships through Medical Subject Heading Over-representation Profile (MeSHOP) similarity

Figure 7

Drug annotation vs. corrected MeSHOP comparison score. The figure displays a heatmap depicting the number of drug-disease tuples for a drug annotation level (MeSH terms attached to the drug MeSHOP) on the x-axis and a corrected MeSHOP comparison score on the y-axis. MeSHOP similarity scores were calculated using L2 distance, but were corrected as described in the text to account for background annotation levels. The degree of drug annotation, measured as the total number of distinct MeSH terms associated with a drug, is no longer correlated (Pearson correlation score of 0.05) once corrected.
