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

backgroundTandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based database searching is a widely acknowledged and widely used method for peptide identification in shotgun proteomics. However, due to the rapid growth of spectra data produced by advanced mass spectrometry and the greatly increased number of modified and digested peptides identified in recent years, the current methods for peptide database searching cannot rapidly and thoroughly process large MS/MS spectra datasets. A breakthrough in efficient database search algorithms is crucial for peptide identification in computational proteomics.

resultsThis paper presents MCtandem, an efficient tool for large-scale peptide identification on Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture. To support big data processing capability, a novel parallel match scoring algorithm, named MIC-SDP (spectrum dot product), and its two-level parallelization are presented in MCtandem's design. In addition, a series of optimization strategies on both the host CPU side and the MIC side, which includes pre-fetching, optimized communication overlapping scheme, multithreading and hyper-threading, are exploited to improve the execution performance.

conclusionsFor fair comparisons, we first set up experiments and verified the 28 fold times speedup on a single MIC against the original CPU-based implementation. We then execute the MCtandem for a very large dataset on an MIC cluster (a component of the Tianhe-2 supercomputer) and achieved much higher scalability than in a benchmark MapReduce-based programs, MR-Tandem. MCtandem is an open-source software tool implemented in C++. The source code and the parameter settings are available at https://github.com/LogicZY/MCtandem .
