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

backgroundMany studies have correlated characteristics of amino acids with crystallization propensity, as part of the effort to determine the factors that affect the propensity of protein crystallization. However, these characteristics are constant; that is, the encoded amino acid sequences have the same value for each type of amino acid. To overcome this inflexibility, three dynamic characteristics of amino acids and protein were introduced to analyze the crystallization propensity of proteins. Both logistic regression and neural network models were used to correlate each of two dynamic characteristics with the crystallization propensity of 301 proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana, and their results were compared with those obtained from each of 531 constant amino acid characteristics, which served as the benchmark.

resultsThe neural network model was more powerful for predicting the crystallization propensity of proteins than the logistic regression model. Compared with the benchmark, the dynamic characteristics of amino acids provided good prediction results for the crystallization propensity, and the distribution probability gave the highest sensitivity. Using 90 % accuracy as a cutoff point, the predictable portion of A. thaliana portions was ranked, and the statistical analysis showed that the larger the predictable portion, the better the prediction.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that dynamic characteristics have a certain relationship with the crystallization propensity, and they could be helpful for the prediction of protein crystallization, which may provide a theoretical concept for certain proteins before conducting experimental crystallization.
