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

Protein pupylation is a type of post-translation modification, which plays a crucial role in cellular function of bacterial organisms in prokaryotes. To have a better insight of the mechanisms underlying pupylation an initial, but important, step is to identify pupylation sites. To date, several computational methods have been established for the prediction of pupylation sites which usually artificially design the negative samples using the verified pupylation proteins to train the classifiers. However, if this process is not properly done it can affect the performance of the final predictor dramatically. In this work, different from previous computational methods, we proposed an enhanced positive-unlabeled learning algorithm (EPuL) to the pupylation site prediction problem, which uses only positive and unlabeled samples. Firstly, we separate the training dataset into the positive dataset and the unlabeled dataset which contains the remaining non-annotated lysine residues. Then, the EPuL algorithm is utilized to select the reliably negative initial dataset and then iteratively pick out the non-pupylation sites. The performance of the proposed method was measured with an accuracy of 90.24%, an Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.93 and an MCC of 0.81 by 10-fold cross-validation. A user-friendly web server for predicting pupylation sites was developed and was freely available at http://59.73.198.144:8080/EPuL.
