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

Nucleic acid motifs consist of conserved and variable nucleotide regions. For functional action, several motifs are combined to modules. The tool AIModules allows identification of such motifs including combinations of them and conservation in several nucleic acid stretches. AIModules recognizes conserved motifs and combinations of motifs (modules) allowing a number of interesting biological applications such as analysis of promoter and transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), identification of conserved modules shared between several gene families, e.g. promoter regions, but also analysis of shared and conserved other DNA motifs such as enhancers and silencers, in mRNA (motifs or regulatory elements e.g. for polyadenylation) and lncRNAs. The tool AIModules presented here is an integrated solution for motif analysis, offered as a Web service as well as downloadable software. Several nucleotide sequences are queried for TFBSs using predefined matrices from the JASPAR DB or by using one's own matrices for diverse types of DNA or RNA motif discovery. Furthermore, AIModules can find TFBSs common to two or more sequences. Demanding high or low conservation, AIModules outperforms other solutions in speed and finds more modules (specific combinations of TFBS) than alternative available software. The application also searches RNA motifs such as polyadenylation site or RNA-protein binding motifs as well as DNA motifs such as enhancers as well as user-specified motif combinations ( https://bioinfo-wuerz.de/aimodules/ ; alternative entry pages: https://aimodules.heinzelab.de or https://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/bioinfo/computing/aimodules ). The application is free and open source whether used online, on-site, or locally.
