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

Protein natural diversity offers a vast sequence space for protein engineering, and deep learning enables its detection from metagenomes/proteomes without prior assumptions. DeepMetagenome, a Python-based method, explores protein diversity through modules for training and analyzing sequence datasets. The deep learning model includes Embedding, Conv1D, LSTM, and Dense layers, with sequence feature analysis for data cleaning. Applied to metallothioneins from a database of over 146 million coding features, DeepMetagenome identified over 500 high-confidence metallothionein sequences, outperforming DIAMOND and CNN-based models. It showed stable performance compared to a Transformer-based model over 25 epochs. Among 23 synthesized sequences, 20 exhibited metal resistance. The tool also successfully explored the diversity of three additional protein families and is freely available on GitHub with detailed instructions.
