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

motivationHigh-quality computational structural models are now precomputed and available for nearly every protein in UniProt. However, the best way to leverage these models to predict which pairs of proteins interact in a high-throughput manner is not immediately clear. The recent Foldseek method of van Kempen et al. encodes the structural information of distances and angles along the protein backbone into a linear string of the same length as the protein string, using tokens from a 21-letter discretized structural alphabet (3Di).

resultsWe show that using both the amino acid sequence and the 3Di sequence generated by Foldseek as inputs to our recent deep-learning method, Topsy-Turvy, substantially improves the performance of predicting protein-protein interactions cross-species. Thus TT3D (Topsy-Turvy 3D) presents a way to reuse all the computational effort going into producing high-quality structural models from sequence, while being sufficiently lightweight so that high-quality binary protein-protein interaction predictions across all protein pairs can be made genome-wide. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: TT3D is available at https://github.com/samsledje/D-SCRIPT. An archived version of the code at time of submission can be found at https://zenodo.org/records/10037674.
