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

Peptides have a plethora of activities in biological systems that can potentially be exploited biotechnologically. Several peptides are used clinically, as well as in industry and agriculture. The increase in available 'omics data has recently provided a large opportunity for mining novel enzymes, biosynthetic gene clusters, and molecules. While these data primarily consist of DNA sequences, other types of data provide important complementary information. Due to their size, the approaches proven successful at discovering novel proteins of canonical size cannot be naïvely applied to the discovery of peptides. Peptides can be encoded directly in the genome as short open reading frames (smORFs), or they can be derived from larger proteins by proteolysis. Both of these peptide classes pose challenges as simple methods for their prediction result in large numbers of false positives. Similarly, functional annotation of larger proteins, traditionally based on sequence similarity to infer orthology and then transferring functions between characterized proteins and uncharacterized ones, cannot be applied for short sequences. The use of these techniques is much more limited and alternative approaches based on machine learning are used instead. Here, we review the limitations of traditional methods as well as the alternative methods that have recently been developed for discovering novel bioactive peptides with a focus on prokaryotic genomes and metagenomes.
