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

Although the existing works on DNA motif discovery on DNA sequences are plethoric, mechanistic knowledge to infer DNA motifs from protein sequences across multiple DNA-binding domain families without conducting any wet-lab experiments is still lacking. Therefore, the k-spectrum recognition modeling is proposed to address the issues at the highest possible resolutions. The k-spectrum model can capture DNA motif patterns from protein sequences at the resolution in which local sequence context and nucleotide dependency can be taken into account completely. Multiple evaluation metrics are adopted and measured on millions of k-mer binding intensities from 92 proteins across 5 DNA-binding families (i.e., bHLH, bZIP, ETS, Forkhead, and Homeodomain), demonstrating its competitive edges. In addition, it not only can contribute to DNA motif recognition modeling but also can help prioritize the observed or even unobserved binding of single nucleotide variants on transcription factor binding sites in a genome-wide manner.
