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

Many Gram-negative bacteria infect hosts and cause diseases by translocating a variety of type III secreted effectors (T3SEs) into the host cell cytoplasm. However, despite a dramatic increase in the number of available whole-genome sequences, it remains challenging for accurate prediction of T3SEs. Traditional prediction models have focused on atypical sequence features buried in the N-terminal peptides of T3SEs, but unfortunately, these models have had high false-positive rates. In this research, we integrated promoter information along with characteristic protein features for signal regions, chaperone-binding domains, and effector domains for T3SE prediction. Machine learning algorithms, including deep learning, were adopted to predict the atypical features mainly buried in signal sequences of T3SEs, followed by development of a voting-based ensemble model integrating the individual prediction results. We assembled this into a unified T3SE prediction pipeline, T3SEpp, which integrated the results of individual modules, resulting in high accuracy (i.e., ∼0.94) and >1-fold reduction in the false-positive rate compared to that of state-of-the-art software tools. The T3SEpp pipeline and sequence features observed here will facilitate the accurate identification of new T3SEs, with numerous benefits for future studies on host-pathogen interactions.
