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

Modeling in-vivo protein-DNA binding is not only fundamental for further understanding of the regulatory mechanisms, but also a challenging task in computational biology. Deep-learning based methods have succeed in modeling in-vivo protein-DNA binding, but they often (1) follow the fully supervised learning framework and overlook the weakly supervised information of genomic sequences that a bound DNA sequence may has multiple TFBS(s), and, (2) use one-hot encoding to encode DNA sequences and ignore the dependencies among nucleotides. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised framework, which combines multiple-instance learning with a hybrid deep neural network and uses k-mer encoding to transform DNA sequences, for modeling in-vivo protein-DNA binding. Firstly, this framework segments sequences into multiple overlapping instances using a sliding window, and then encodes all instances into image-like inputs of high-order dependencies using k-mer encoding. Secondly, it separately computes a score for all instances in the same bag using a hybrid deep neural network that integrates convolutional and recurrent neural networks. Finally, it integrates the predicted values of all instances as the final prediction of this bag using the Noisy-and method. The experimental results on in-vivo datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed framework. In addition, we also explore the performance of the proposed framework when using k-mer encoding, and demonstrate the performance of the Noisy-and method by comparing it with other fusion methods, and find that adding recurrent layers can improve the performance of the proposed framework.
