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

Prediction of promoter regions is crucial for studying gene function and regulation. The well-accepted position weight matrix method for this purpose relies on predefined motifs, which would hinder application across different species. Here, we introduce image-based promoter prediction (IBPP) as a method that creates an "image" from training promoter sequences using an evolutionary approach and predicts promoters by matching with the "image". We used Escherichia coli σ70 promoter sequences to test the performance of IBPP and the combination of IBPP and a support vector machine algorithm (IBPP-SVM). The "images" generated with IBPP could effectively distinguish promoter from non-promoter sequences. Compared with IBPP, IBPP-SVM showed a substantial improvement in sensitivity. Furthermore, both methods showed good performance for sequences of up to 2,000 nt in length. The performances of IBPP and IBPP-SVM were largely affected by the threshold and dimension of vectors, respectively. The source code and documentation are freely available at https://github.com/hahatcdg/IBPP .
