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

Alpha transmembrane proteins (αTMPs) profoundly affect many critical biological processes and are major drug targets due to their pivotal protein functions. At present, even though the non-transmembrane secondary structures are highly relevant to the biological functions of αTMPs along with their transmembrane structures, they have not been unified to be studied yet. In this study, we present a novel computational method, TMPSS, to predict the secondary structures in non-transmembrane parts and the topology structures in transmembrane parts of αTMPs. TMPSS applied a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), combined with an attention-enhanced Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network, to extract the local contexts and long-distance interdependencies from primary sequences. In addition, a multi-task learning strategy was used to predict the secondary structures and the transmembrane helixes. TMPSS was thoroughly trained and tested against a non-redundant independent dataset, where the Q3 secondary structure prediction accuracy achieved 78% in the non-transmembrane region, and the accuracy of the transmembrane region prediction achieved 90%. In sum, our method showcased a unified model for predicting the secondary structure and topology structure of αTMPs by only utilizing features generated from primary sequences and provided a steady and fast prediction, which promisingly improves the structural studies on αTMPs.
