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

Introduction: Bitter peptides are short peptides with potential medical applications. The huge potential behind its bitter taste remains to be tapped. To better explore the value of bitter peptides in practice, we need a more effective classification method for identifying bitter peptides. Methods: In this study, we developed a Random forest (RF)-based model, called Bitter-RF, using sequence information of the bitter peptide. Bitter-RF covers more comprehensive and extensive information by integrating 10 features extracted from the bitter peptides and achieves better results than the latest generation model on independent validation set. Results: The proposed model can improve the accurate classification of bitter peptides (AUROC = 0.98 on independent set test) and enrich the practical application of RF method in protein classification tasks which has not been used to build a prediction model for bitter peptides. Discussion: We hope the Bitter-RF could provide more conveniences to scholars for bitter peptide research.
