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

motivationCell polarity refers to the asymmetric organization of cellular components in various cells. Epithelial cells are the best-known examples of polarized cells, featuring apical and basolateral membrane domains. Mounting evidence suggests that short linear motifs play a major role in protein trafficking to these domains, although the exact rules governing them are still elusive.

resultsIn this study we prepared neural networks that capture recurrent patterns to classify transmembrane proteins localizing into apical and basolateral membranes. Asymmetric expression of drug transporters results in vectorial drug transport, governing the pharmacokinetics of numerous substances, yet the data on how proteins are sorted in epithelial cells is very scattered. The provided method may offer help to experimentalists to identify or better characterize molecular networks regulating the distribution of transporters or surface receptors (including viral entry receptors like that of COVID-19). AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The prediction server PolarProtPred is available at http://polarprotpred.ttk.hu. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
