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 proteins in a cell often assemble into complexes to carry out their functions and play an essential role of biological processes. The PCFamily server identifies template-based homologous protein complexes [called protein complex family (PCF)] and infers functional modules of the query proteins. This server first finds homologous structure complexes of the query using BLASTP to search the structural template database (11,263 complexes). PCFamily then searches the homologous complexes of the templates (query) from a complete genomic database (Integr8 with 6,352,363 protein sequences in 2274 species). According to these homologous complexes across multiple species, this sever infers binding models (e.g. hydrogen-bonds and conserved amino acids in the interfaces), functional modules, and the conserved interacting domains and Gene Ontology annotations of the PCF. Experimental results demonstrate that the PCFamily server can be useful for binding model visualizations and annotating the query proteins. We believe that the server is able to provide valuable insights for determining functional modules of biological networks across multiple species. The PCFamily sever is available at http://pcfamily.life.nctu.edu.tw.
