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

Often the development of novel functional peptides is not amenable to high throughput or purely computational screening methods. Peptides must be synthesized one at a time in a process that does not generate large amounts of data. One way this method can be improved is by ensuring that each experiment provides the best improvement in both peptide properties and predictive modeling accuracy. Here, we study the effectiveness of active learning, optimizing experiment order, and meta-learning, transferring knowledge between contexts, to reduce the number of experiments necessary to build a predictive model. We present a multitask benchmark database of peptides designed to advance these methods for experimental design. Each task is a binary classification of peptides represented as a sequence string. We find neither active learning method tested to be better than random choice. The meta-learning method Reptile was found to improve the average accuracy across data sets. Combining meta-learning with active learning offers inconsistent benefits.
