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

backgroundCell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides (5-30 amino acids) that can enter almost any cell without significant damage. On account of their high delivery efficiency, CPPs are promising candidates for gene therapy and cancer treatment. Accordingly, techniques that correctly predict CPPs are anticipated to accelerate CPP applications in future therapeutics. Recently, computational methods have been reportedly successful in predicting CPPs. Unfortunately, the predictive performance of existing methods is not satisfactory and reliable so as to accurately identify CPPs.

resultsIn this study, we propose a novel computational predictor called SkipCPP-Pred to further improve the predictive performance. The novelty of the proposed predictor is that we present a sequence-based feature representation algorithm called adaptive k-skip-n-gram that sufficiently captures the intrinsic correlation information of residues. By fusing the proposed adaptive skip features with a random forest (RF) classifier, we successfully construct the prediction model of SkipCPP-Pred. The various jackknife results demonstrate that the proposed SkipCPP-Pred is 3.6% higher than state-of-the-art CPP predictors in terms of accuracy. Moreover, we construct a high-quality benchmark dataset by reducing the data redundancy and enhancing the similarity between the positive and negative classes. Using this dataset to build prediction models, we can successfully avoid the performance bias lying in existing methods and yield a promising predictive model.

conclusionsThe proposed SkipCPP-Pred is a simple and fast sequence-based predictor featured with the adaptive k-skip-n-gram model for the improved prediction of CPPs. Currently, SkipCPP-Pred is publicly available from an online webserver ( http://server.malab.cn/SkipCPP-Pred/Index.html ).
