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

backgroundDiverse types of biological data, primary as well as derived, are available in various formats and are stored in heterogeneous resources. Database-specific as well as integrated search engines are available for carrying out efficient searches of databases. These search engines however, do not support extraction of subsets of data with the same level of granularity that exists in typical database entries. In order to extract fine grained subsets of data, users are required to download complete or partial database entries and write scripts for parsing and extraction.

resultsBioDBExtractor (BDE) has been developed to provide 26 customized data extraction utilities for some of the commonly used databases such as ENA (EMBL-Bank), UniprotKB, PDB, and KEGG. BDE eliminates the need for downloading entries and writing scripts. BDE has a simple web interface that enables input of query in the form of accession numbers/ID codes, choice of utilities and selection of fields/subfields of data by the users.

conclusionsBDE thus provides a common data extraction platform for multiple databases and is useful to both, novice and expert users. BDE, however, is not a substitute to basic keyword-based database searches. Desired subsets of data, compiled using BDE can be subsequently used for downstream processing, analyses and knowledge discovery. AVAILABILITY: BDE can be accessed from http://bioinfo.net.in/BioDB/Home.html.
