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

backgroundThe amount of published full-text articles has increased dramatically. Text mining tools configure an essential approach to building biological networks, updating databases and providing annotation for new pathways. PESCADOR is an online web server based on LAITOR and NLProt text mining tools, which retrieves protein-protein co-occurrences in a tabular-based format, adding a network schema. Here we present an HPC-oriented version of PESCADOR's native text mining tool, renamed to LAITOR4HPC, aiming to access an unlimited abstract amount in a short time to enrich available networks, build new ones and possibly highlight whether fields of research have been exhaustively studied.

resultsBy taking advantage of parallel computing HPC infrastructure, the full collection of MEDLINE abstracts available until June 2017 was analyzed in a shorter period (6 days) when compared to the original online implementation (with an estimated 2 years to run the same data). Additionally, three case studies were presented to illustrate LAITOR4HPC usage possibilities. The first case study targeted soybean and was used to retrieve an overview of published co-occurrences in a single organism, retrieving 15,788 proteins in 7894 co-occurrences. In the second case study, a target gene family was searched in many organisms, by analyzing 15 species under biotic stress. Most co-occurrences regarded Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays. The third case study concerned the construction and enrichment of an available pathway. Choosing A. thaliana for further analysis, the defensin pathway was enriched, showing additional signaling and regulation molecules, and how they respond to each other in the modulation of this complex plant defense response.

conclusionsLAITOR4HPC can be used for an efficient text mining based construction of biological networks derived from big data sources, such as MEDLINE abstracts. Time consumption and data input limitations will depend on the available resources at the HPC facility. LAITOR4HPC enables enough flexibility for different approaches and data amounts targeted to an organism, a subject, or a specific pathway. Additionally, it can deliver comprehensive results where interactions are classified into four types, according to their reliability.
