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

DNA-protein interactions exert the fundamental structure of many pivotal biological processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, and gene regulation. However, accurate and efficient computational methods for identifying these interactions are still lacking. In this study, we propose a method ESM-DBP through refining the DNA-binding protein sequence repertory and domain-adaptive pretraining based the general protein language model. Our method considers the lacking exploration of general language model for DNA-binding protein domain-specific knowledge, so we screen out 170,264 DNA-binding protein sequences to construct the domain-adaptive language model. Experimental results on four downstream tasks show that ESM-DBP provides a better feature representation of DNA-binding protein compared to the original language model, resulting in improved prediction performance and outperforming the state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, ESM-DBP can still perform well even for those sequences with only a few homologous sequences. ChIP-seq on two predicted cases further support the validity of the proposed method.
