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

Essential proteins are crucial to living cells. Identification of essential proteins from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks can be applied to pathway analysis and function prediction, furthermore, it can contribute to disease diagnosis and drug design. There have been some experimental and computational methods designed to identify essential proteins, however, the prediction precision remains to be improved. In this paper, we propose a new method for identifying essential proteins based on Participation degree of a protein in protein Complexes and Subgraph Density, named as PCSD. In order to test the performance of PCSD, four PPI datasets (DIP, Krogan, MIPS and Gavin) are used to conduct experiments. The experiment results have demonstrated that PCSD achieves a better performance for predicting essential proteins compared with some competing methods including DC, SC, EC, IC, LAC, NC, WDC, PeC, UDoNC, and compared with the most recent method LBCC, PCSD can correctly predict more essential proteins from certain numbers of top ranked proteins on the DIP dataset, which indicates that PCSD is very effective in discovering essential proteins in most case.
