Performance of the methods when using mRNAs, miRNAs and both, respectively. a METABRIC (1283). b TCGA (753). c UK (207). d HEL (115). e GSE19783 (99). The x-axis of each diagram is the value of \(-\log _{10}(\text {p-value})\), and the y-axis is the method. For better visibility, the scales of the x-axis of the diagrams are different. Black circles, red triangles, and blue diamonds denote the results of the methods when using mRNA data, miRNA data, and matched miRNA-mRNA data, respectively. Red vertical lines indicate the threshold for significantly different survival i.e. the results on the right of a red line are statistically significant, while the results on the left of the line are not
