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

Promoters are consensus DNA sequences located near the transcription start sites and they play an important role in transcription initiation. Due to their importance in biological processes, the identification of promoters is significantly important for characterizing the expression of the genes. Numerous computational methods have been proposed to predict promoters. However, it is difficult for these methods to achieve satisfactory performance in multiple species. In this study, we propose a novel weighted average ensemble learning model, termed iPro-WAEL, for identifying promoters in multiple species, including Human, Mouse, E.coli, Arabidopsis, B.amyloliquefaciens, B.subtilis and R.capsulatus. Extensive benchmarking experiments illustrate that iPro-WAEL has optimal performance and is superior to the current methods in promoter prediction. The experimental results also demonstrate a satisfactory prediction ability of iPro-WAEL on cross-cell lines, promoters annotated by other methods and distinguishing between promoters and enhancers. Moreover, we identify the most important transcription factor binding site (TFBS) motif in promoter regions to facilitate the study of identifying important motifs in the promoter regions.
