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

backgroundResidues in a protein might be buried inside or exposed to the solvent surrounding the protein. The buried residues usually form hydrophobic cores to maintain the structural integrity of proteins while the exposed residues are tightly related to protein functions. Thus, the accurate prediction of solvent accessibility of residues will greatly facilitate our understanding of both structure and functionalities of proteins. Most of the state-of-the-art prediction approaches consider the burial state of each residue independently, thus neglecting the correlations among residues.

resultsIn this study, we present a high-order conditional random field model that considers burial states of all residues in a protein simultaneously. Our approach exploits not only the correlation among adjacent residues but also the correlation among long-range residues. Experimental results showed that by exploiting the correlation among residues, our approach outperformed the state-of-the-art approaches in prediction accuracy. In-depth case studies also showed that by using the high-order statistical model, the errors committed by the bidirectional recurrent neural network and chain conditional random field models were successfully corrected.

conclusionsOur methods enable the accurate prediction of residue burial states, which should greatly facilitate protein structure prediction and evaluation.
