GenDiS database update with improved approach and features to recognize homologous sequences of protein domain superfamilies.
Article in Database : the journal of biological databases and curation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Since proteins evolve by divergent evolution, proteins with distant homology to each other may or may not bear similar functions. Improved computational approaches are required to recognize distant homologues that are functionally similar. One of the methods of assigning function to sequences is to use profiles derived from sequences of known structure. We describe an update of the Genomic Distribution of protein structural domain Superfamilies (GenDiS) database, namely GenDiS+, which provides a projection of SCOP superfamily members on the sequence space (NR database, NCBI). The sequences are validated using structure-based sequence alignment profiles and domain and full-length sequence alignments. GenDiS+ is a `tour de force' for detecting homologues within around 160 000 taxonomic identifiers, starting from nearly 11 000 domains of known structure. Features, like full-sequence alignment and phylogeny, domain sequence alignment and phylogeny, list of associated structural and sequence domains with strength of interactions, links to databases like Pfam, UniProt and ModBase and list of sequences with a PDB structure, are provided.
