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

In recent years, hundreds of novel RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been identified, leading to the discovery of novel RNA-binding domains. Furthermore, unstructured or disordered low-complexity regions of RBPs have been identified to play an important role in interactions with nucleic acids. However, these advances in understanding RBPs are limited mainly to eukaryotic species and we only have limited tools to faithfully predict RNA-binders in bacteria. Here, we describe a support vector machine-based method, called TriPepSVM, for the prediction of RNA-binding proteins. TriPepSVM applies string kernels to directly handle protein sequences using tri-peptide frequencies. Testing the method in human and bacteria, we find that several RBP-enriched tri-peptides occur more often in structurally disordered regions of RBPs. TriPepSVM outperforms existing applications, which consider classical structural features of RNA-binding or homology, in the task of RBP prediction in both human and bacteria. Finally, we predict 66 novel RBPs in Salmonella Typhimurium and validate the bacterial proteins ClpX, DnaJ and UbiG to associate with RNA in vivo.
