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

summarySingle amino acid variations (SAVs) are a primary contributor to variations in the human genome. Identifying pathogenic SAVs can provide insights to the genetic architecture of complex diseases. Most approaches for predicting the functional effects or pathogenicity of SAVs rely on either sequence or structural information. This study presents 〈Lai Yang Rubenstein Uzun Sarkar〉 (LYRUS), a machine learning method that uses an XGBoost classifier to predict the pathogenicity of SAVs. LYRUS incorporates five sequence-based, six structure-based and four dynamics-based features. Uniquely, LYRUS includes a newly proposed sequence co-evolution feature called the variation number. LYRUS was trained using a dataset that contains 4363 protein structures corresponding to 22 639 SAVs from the ClinVar database, and tested using the VariBench testing dataset. Performance analysis showed that LYRUS achieved comparable performance to current variant effect predictors. LYRUS's performance was also benchmarked against six Deep Mutational Scanning datasets for PTEN and TP53.
