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

Protein mutations can lead to structural changes that affect protein function and result in disease occurrence. In protein engineering, drug design or and optimization industries, mutations are often used to improve protein stability or to change protein properties while maintaining stability. To provide possible candidates for novel protein design, several computational tools for predicting protein stability changes have been developed. Although many prediction tools are available, each tool employs different algorithms and features. This can produce conflicting prediction results that make it difficult for users to decide upon the correct protein design. Therefore, this study proposes an integrated prediction tool, iStable 2.0, which integrates 11 sequence-based and structure-based prediction tools by machine learning and adds protein sequence information as features. Three coding modules are designed for the system, an Online Server Module, a Stand-alone Module and a Sequence Coding Module, to improve the prediction performance of the previous version of the system. The final integrated structure-based classification model has a higher Matthews correlation coefficient than that of the single prediction tool (0.708 vs 0.547, respectively), and the Pearson correlation coefficient of the regression model likewise improves from 0.669 to 0.714. The sequence-based model not only successfully integrates off-the-shelf predictors but also improves the Matthews correlation coefficient of the best single prediction tool by at least 0.161, which is better than the individual structure-based prediction tools. In addition, both the Sequence Coding Module and the Stand-alone Module maintain performance with only a 5% decrease of the Matthews correlation coefficient when the integrated online tools are unavailable. iStable 2.0 is available at http://ncblab.nchu.edu.tw/iStable2.
