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

Viral antigens are key in the development of vaccines that prevent or eradicate infections caused by these pathogens. Bioinformatics tools are modern alternatives that facilitate the discovery of viral antigens, reducing the costs of experimental assays. We developed a bioinformatics tool called VirVACPRED, which is highly efficient in predicting viral antigens. In this study, we obtained a model based on the gradient boosting classifier, which showed high performance during the training, leave-one-out cross-validation (accuracy = 0.7402, sensitivity = 0.7319, precision = 0.7503, F1 = 0.7251, kappa = 0.4774, Matthews correlation coefficient = 0.4981) and testing (accuracy = 0.8889, sensitivity = 1.0, precision = 0.8276, F1 = 0.9057, kappa = 0.7734, Matthews correlation coefficient = 0.7941). VirVACPRED is a robust tool that can be of great help in the search and proposal of new viral antigens, which can be considered in the development of future vaccines against infections caused by viruses.
