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

We develop a hierarchical pipeline, ThreaDomEx, for both continuous domain (CD) and discontinuous domain (DCD) structure predictions. Starting from a query sequence, ThreaDomEx first threads it through the PDB to identify multiple structure templates, where a profile of domain conservation score (DC-score) is derived for domain-segment assignment. To further detect DCDs that consist of separated segments along the sequence, a boundary-clustering algorithm is used to refine the DCD-linker locations. In case that the templates do not contain DCDs, a domain-segment assembly process, guided by symmetry comparison, is applied for further DCD detections. ThreaDomEx was tested a set of 1111 proteins and achieved a normalized domain overlap score of 89.3% compared to experimental data, which is significantly higher than other state-of-the-art methods. It also recalls 26.7% of DCDs with 72.7% precision on the proteins for which threading failed to detect any DCDs. The server provides facilities for users to interactively refine the domain models by adjusting DC-score threshold, deleting and adding domain linkers, and assembling domain segments, which are particularly helpful for the hard targets for which current methods have a low accuracy while human-expert knowledge and experimental insights can be used for refining models. ThreaDomEX server is available at http://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/ThreaDomEx.
