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

motivationPolyadenylation is a critical step for gene expression regulation during the maturation of mRNA. An accurate and robust method for poly(A) signals (PASs) identification is not only desired for the purpose of better transcripts' end annotation, but can also help us gain a deeper insight of the underlying regulatory mechanism. Although many methods have been proposed for PAS recognition, most of them are PAS motif- and human-specific, which leads to high risks of overfitting, low generalization power, and inability to reveal the connections between the underlying mechanisms of different mammals.

resultsIn this work, we propose a robust, PAS motif agnostic, and highly interpretable and transferrable deep learning model for accurate PAS recognition, which requires no prior knowledge or human-designed features. We show that our single model trained over all human PAS motifs not only outperforms the state-of-the-art methods trained on specific motifs, but can also be generalized well to two mouse datasets. Moreover, we further increase the prediction accuracy by transferring the deep learning model trained on the data of one species to the data of a different species. Several novel underlying poly(A) patterns are revealed through the visualization of important oligomers and positions in our trained models. Finally, we interpret the deep learning models by converting the convolutional filters into sequence logos and quantitatively compare the sequence logos between human and mouse datasets.
