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

Cellular functions are governed by proteins, and, while some proteins work independently, most work by interacting with other proteins. As a result it is crucially important to know the interaction sites that facilitate the interactions between the proteins. Since the experimental methods are costly and time consuming, it is essential to develop effective computational methods. We present PITHIA, a sequence-based deep learning model for protein interaction site prediction that exploits the combination of multiple sequence alignments and learning attention. We demonstrate that our new model clearly outperforms the state-of-the-art models on a wide range of metrics. In order to provide meaningful comparison, we update existing test datasets with new information regarding interaction site, as well as introduce an additional new testing dataset which resolves the shortcomings of the existing ones.
