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

Annotating protein sequences according to their biological functions is one of the key steps in understanding microbial diversity, metabolic potentials, and evolutionary histories. However, even in the best-studied prokaryotic genomes, not all proteins can be characterized by classical in vivo, in vitro, and/or in silico methods-a challenge rapidly growing alongside the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies and their enormous extension of 'omics' data in public databases. These so-called hypothetical proteins (HPs) represent a huge knowledge gap and hidden potential for biotechnological applications. Opportunities for leveraging the available 'Big Data' have recently proliferated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Here, we review the aims and methods of protein annotation and explain the different principles behind machine and deep learning algorithms including recent research examples, in order to assist both biologists wishing to apply AI tools in developing comprehensive genome annotations and computer scientists who want to contribute to this leading edge of biological research.
