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

DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) perform diverse biological functions ranging from transcription to pathogen sensing. Machine learning methods can not only identify DBPs de novo but also provide insights into their DNA-recognition dynamics. However, it remains unclear whether available methods that can accurately predict DNA-binding sites in known DBPs can also identify novel DBPs. Moreover, sequence information is blind to the cellular- and disease-specific contexts of DBP activities, whereas the under-utilized knowledge from public gene expression data offers great promise. To address these issues, we have developed novel methods for predicting DBPs by integrating sequence and gene expression-derived features and applied them to explore human, mouse and Arabidopsis proteomes. While our sequence-based models outperformed the gene expression-based ones, some proteins with weaker DBP-like sequence features were correctly predicted by gene expression-based features, suggesting that these proteins acquire a tangible DBP functionality in a conducive gene expression environment. Analysis of motif enrichment among the co-expressed genes of top 100 candidates DBPs from hitherto unannotated genes provides further avenues to explore their functional associations.
