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

backgroundDirect-coupling analysis (DCA) is a method for protein contact prediction from sequence information alone. Its underlying principle is parameter estimation for a Hamiltonian interaction function stemming from a maximum entropy model with one- and two-point interactions. Vastly growing sequence databases enable the construction of large multiple sequence alignments (MSA). Thus, enough data exists to include higher order terms, such as three-body correlations.

resultsWe present an implementation of hoDCA, which is an extension of DCA by including three-body interactions into the inverse Ising problem posed by parameter estimation. In a previous study, these three-body-interactions improved contact prediction accuracy for the PSICOV benchmark dataset. Our implementation can be executed in parallel, which results in fast runtimes and makes it suitable for large-scale application.

conclusionOur hoDCA software allows improved contact prediction using the Julia language, leveraging power of multi-core machines in an automated fashion.
