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

RNA editing is a post-transcriptional RNA process that provides RNA and protein complexity for regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. It is challenging to predict RNA editing by computational methods. In this study, we developed a novel method to predict RNA editing based on a random forest method. A careful feature selection procedure was performed based on the Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (mRMR) and Incremental Feature Selection (IFS) algorithms. Eighteen optimal features were selected from the 77 features in our dataset and used to construct a final predictor. The accuracy and MCC (Matthews correlation coefficient) values for the training dataset were 0.866 and 0.742, respectively; for the testing dataset, the accuracy and MCC were 0.876 and 0.576, respectively. The performance was higher using 18 features than all 77, suggesting that a small feature set was sufficient to achieve accurate prediction. Analysis of the 18 features was performed and may shed light on the mechanism and dominant factors of RNA editing, providing a basis for future experimental validation.
