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

Predicting how and where proteins, especially transcription factors (TFs), interact with DNA is an important problem in biology. We present here a systematic study of predictive modeling approaches to the TF-DNA binding problem, which have been frequently shown to be more efficient than those methods only based on position-specific weight matrices (PWMs). In these approaches, a statistical relationship between genomic sequences and gene expression or ChIP-binding intensities is inferred through a regression framework; and influential sequence features are identified by variable selection. We examine a few state-of-the-art learning methods including stepwise linear regression, multivariate adaptive regression splines, neural networks, support vector machines, boosting and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART). These methods are applied to both simulated datasets and two whole-genome ChIP-chip datasets on the TFs Oct4 and Sox2, respectively, in human embryonic stem cells. We find that, with proper learning methods, predictive modeling approaches can significantly improve the predictive power and identify more biologically interesting features, such as TF-TF interactions, than the PWM approach. In particular, BART and boosting show the best and the most robust overall performance among all the methods.
