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 catalytic sites of a given enzyme is an important open problem of Bioinformatics. Recently, many machine learning-based methods have been developed which have the advantage that they can account for many sequential or structural features. We found that although many kinds of features are incorporated, protein sequence conservation is the main part of information they used and should play an important role in the future. So we tested several conservation features in their ability to predict catalytic sites by using the Support Vector Machine classifier. Our results suggest that position specific scoring matrix performs better than other features and incorporating conservation information of sequentially adjacent sites is more effective than that of structurally adjacent ones. Moreover, although conservation information is effective in predicting catalytic sites, it is a difficult problem to optimize the combination of conservation features and other ones.
