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

backgroundEssential proteins play an indispensable role in the cellular survival and development. There have been a series of biological experimental methods for finding essential proteins; however they are time-consuming, expensive and inefficient. In order to overcome the shortcomings of biological experimental methods, many computational methods have been proposed to predict essential proteins. The computational methods can be roughly divided into two categories, the topology-based methods and the sequence-based ones. The former use the topological features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks while the latter use the sequence features of proteins to predict essential proteins. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to improve the prediction accuracy of the computational methods.

resultsComparing with nonessential proteins, essential proteins appear more frequently in certain subcellular locations and their evolution more conservative. By integrating the information of subcellular localization, orthologous proteins and PPI networks, we propose a novel essential protein prediction method, named SON, in this study. The experimental results on S.cerevisiae data show that the prediction accuracy of SON clearly exceeds that of nine competing methods: DC, BC, IC, CC, SC, EC, NC, PeC and ION.

conclusionsWe demonstrate that, by integrating the information of subcellular localization, orthologous proteins with PPI networks, the accuracy of predicting essential proteins can be improved. Our proposed method SON is effective for predicting essential proteins.
