Identification of essential proteins based on edge features and the fusion of multiple-source biological information.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundA major current focus in the analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) data is how to identify essential proteins. As massive PPI data are available, this warrants the design of efficient computing methods for identifying essential proteins. Previous studies have achieved considerable performance. However, as a consequence of the features of high noise and structural complexity in PPIs, it is still a challenge to further upgrade the performance of the identification methods.
methodsThis paper proposes an identification method, named CTF, which identifies essential proteins based on edge features including h-quasi-cliques and uv-triangle graphs and the fusion of multiple-source information. We first design an edge-weight function, named EWCT, for computing the topological scores of proteins based on quasi-cliques and triangle graphs. Then, we generate an edge-weighted PPI network using EWCT and dynamic PPI data. Finally, we compute the essentiality of proteins by the fusion of topological scores and three scores of biological information.
resultsWe evaluated the performance of the CTF method by comparison with 16 other methods, such as MON, PeC, TEGS, and LBCC, the experiment results on three datasets of Saccharomyces cerevisiae show that CTF outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, our method indicates that the fusion of other biological information is beneficial to improve the accuracy of identification.
