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

The accurate identification of promoter regions and transcription start sites is a challenge to the construction of human transcription regulation networks. Thus, an efficient prediction method based on theoretical formulation is necessary for this purpose. We used the method of increment diversity with quadratic discriminant analysis (IDQD) to predict transcription start sites (TSS). The method produced sensitivity and positive predictive value of more than 65% with positives to negatives ratio of 1:58. The performance evaluation using Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) showed an auROC (area under ROC) of greater than 96%. The evaluation by Precision Recall Curves (PRC) showed an auPRC (area under PRC) of about 26% for positives to negatives ratio of 1:679 and about 64% for positives to negatives ratio of 1:113. The results documented in this approach are either better or comparable to other known methods.
