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

Transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in regulating gene expression through interactions with specific DNA sequences. Recently, the sequence motif of almost 400 human TFs have been identified using high-throughput SELEX sequencing. However, there remain a large number of TFs (∼800) with no high-throughput-derived binding motifs. Computational methods capable of associating known motifs to such TFs will avoid tremendous experimental efforts and enable deeper understanding of transcriptional regulatory functions. We present a method to associate known motifs to TFs (MATLAB code is available in Supplementary Materials). Our method is based on a probabilistic framework that not only exploits DNA-binding domains and specificities, but also integrates open chromatin, gene expression and genomic data to accurately infer monomeric and homodimeric binding motifs. Our analysis resulted in the assignment of motifs to 200 TFs with no SELEX-derived motifs, roughly a 50% increase compared to the existing coverage.
