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 combinations of protein features are used to improve protein structural class prediction, but the information redundancy is often ignored. In order to select the important features with strong classification ability, we proposed a recursive feature selection with random forest to improve protein structural class prediction. We evaluated the proposed method with four experiments and compared it with the available competing prediction methods. The results indicate that the proposed feature selection method effectively improves the efficiency of protein structural class prediction. Only less than 5% features are used, but the prediction accuracy is improved by 4.6-13.3%. We further compared different protein features and found that the predicted secondary structural features achieve the best performance. This understanding can be used to design more powerful prediction methods for the protein structural class.
