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

backgroundResistance gene analogs (RGAs), such as NBS-encoding proteins, receptor-like protein kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs), are potential R-genes that contain specific conserved domains and motifs. Thus, RGAs can be predicted based on their conserved structural features using bioinformatics tools. Computer programs have been developed for the identification of individual domains and motifs from the protein sequences of RGAs but none offer a systematic assessment of the different types of RGAs. A user-friendly and efficient pipeline is needed for large-scale genome-wide RGA predictions of the growing number of sequenced plant genomes.

resultsAn integrative pipeline, named RGAugury, was developed to automate RGA prediction. The pipeline first identifies RGA-related protein domains and motifs, namely nucleotide binding site (NB-ARC), leucine rich repeat (LRR), transmembrane (TM), serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase (STTK), lysin motif (LysM), coiled-coil (CC) and Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR). RGA candidates are identified and classified into four major families based on the presence of combinations of these RGA domains and motifs: NBS-encoding, TM-CC, and membrane associated RLP and RLK. All time-consuming analyses of the pipeline are paralleled to improve performance. The pipeline was evaluated using the well-annotated Arabidopsis genome. A total of 98.5, 85.2, and 100 % of the reported NBS-encoding genes, membrane associated RLPs and RLKs were validated, respectively. The pipeline was also successfully applied to predict RGAs for 50 sequenced plant genomes. A user-friendly web interface was implemented to ease command line operations, facilitate visualization and simplify result management for multiple datasets.

conclusionsRGAugury is an efficiently integrative bioinformatics tool for large scale genome-wide identification of RGAs. It is freely available at Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/yaanlpc/rgaugury .
