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

Due to the large numbers of transcription factors (TFs) and cell types, querying binding profiles of all valid TF/cell type pairs is not experimentally feasible. To address this issue, we developed a convolutional-recurrent neural network model, called FactorNet, to computationally impute the missing binding data. FactorNet trains on binding data from reference cell types to make predictions on testing cell types by leveraging a variety of features, including genomic sequences, genome annotations, gene expression, and signal data, such as DNase I cleavage. FactorNet implements several convenient strategies to reduce runtime and memory consumption. By visualizing the neural network models, we can interpret how the model predicts binding. We also investigate the variables that affect cross-cell type accuracy, and offer suggestions to improve upon this field. Our method ranked among the top teams in the ENCODE-DREAM in vivo Transcription Factor Binding Site Prediction Challenge, achieving first place on six of the 13 final round evaluation TF/cell type pairs, the most of any competing team. The FactorNet source code is publicly available, allowing users to reproduce our methodology from the ENCODE-DREAM Challenge.
