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

backgroundEffectively predicting protein complexes not only helps to understand the structures and functions of proteins and their complexes, but also is useful for diagnosing disease and developing new drugs. Up to now, many methods have been developed to detect complexes by mining dense subgraphs from static protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, while ignoring the value of other biological information and the dynamic properties of cellular systems.

resultsIn this paper, based on our previous works CPredictor and CPredictor2.0, we present a new method for predicting complexes from PPI networks with both gene expression data and protein functional annotations, which is called CPredictor3.0. This new method follows the viewpoint that proteins in the same complex should roughly have similar functions and are active at the same time and place in cellular systems. We first detect active proteins by using gene express data of different time points and cluster proteins by using gene ontology (GO) functional annotations, respectively. Then, for each time point, we do set intersections with one set corresponding to active proteins generated from expression data and the other set corresponding to a protein cluster generated from functional annotations. Each resulting unique set indicates a cluster of proteins that have similar function(s) and are active at that time point. Following that, we map each cluster of active proteins of similar function onto a static PPI network, and get a series of induced connected subgraphs. We treat these subgraphs as candidate complexes. Finally, by expanding and merging these candidate complexes, the predicted complexes are obtained. We evaluate CPredictor3.0 and compare it with a number of existing methods on several PPI networks and benchmarking complex datasets. The experimental results show that CPredictor3.0 achieves the highest F1-measure, which indicates that CPredictor3.0 outperforms these existing method in overall.

conclusionCPredictor3.0 can serve as a promising tool of protein complex prediction.
