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

Membrane proteins are encoded by approximately a quarter of human genes. Inter-chain residue-residue contact information is important for structure prediction of membrane protein complexes and valuable for understanding their molecular mechanism. Although many deep learning methods have been proposed to predict the intra-protein contacts or helix-helix interactions in membrane proteins, it is still challenging to accurately predict their inter-chain contacts due to the limited number of transmembrane proteins. Addressing the challenge, here we develop a deep transfer learning method for predicting inter-chain contacts of transmembrane protein complexes, named DeepTMP, by taking advantage of the knowledge pre-trained from a large data set of non-transmembrane proteins. DeepTMP utilizes a geometric triangle-aware module to capture the correct inter-chain interaction from the coevolution information generated by protein language models. DeepTMP is extensively evaluated on a test set of 52 self-associated transmembrane protein complexes, and compared with state-of-the-art methods including DeepHomo2.0, CDPred, GLINTER, DeepHomo, and DNCON2_Inter. It is shown that DeepTMP considerably improves the precision of inter-chain contact prediction and outperforms the existing approaches in both accuracy and robustness.
