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

motivationComputationally predicting major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide binding affinity is an important problem in immunological bioinformatics. Recent cutting-edge deep learning-based methods for this problem are unable to achieve satisfactory performance for MHC class II molecules. This is because such methods generate the input by simply concatenating the two given sequences: (the estimated binding core of) a peptide and (the pseudo sequence of) an MHC class II molecule, ignoring biological knowledge behind the interactions of the two molecules. We thus propose a binding core-aware deep learning-based model, DeepMHCII, with a binding interaction convolution layer, which allows to integrate all potential binding cores (in a given peptide) with the MHC pseudo (binding) sequence, through modeling the interaction with multiple convolutional kernels.

resultsExtensive empirical experiments with four large-scale datasets demonstrate that DeepMHCII significantly outperformed four state-of-the-art methods under numerous settings, such as 5-fold cross-validation, leave one molecule out, validation with independent testing sets and binding core prediction. All these results and visualization of the predicted binding cores indicate the effectiveness of our model, DeepMHCII, and the importance of properly modeling biological facts in deep learning for high predictive performance and efficient knowledge discovery. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: DeepMHCII is publicly available at https://github.com/yourh/DeepMHCII. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
