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

The secondary structures (SSs) and supersecondary structures (SSSs) underlie the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Prediction of the SSs and SSSs from protein sequences enjoys high levels of use and finds numerous applications in the development of a broad range of other bioinformatics tools. Numerous sequence-based predictors of SS and SSS were developed and published in recent years. We survey and analyze 45 SS predictors that were released since 2018, focusing on their inputs, predictive models, scope of their prediction, and availability. We also review 32 sequence-based SSS predictors, which primarily focus on predicting coiled coils and beta-hairpins and which include five methods that were published since 2018. Substantial majority of these predictive tools rely on machine learning models, including a variety of deep neural network architectures. They also frequently use evolutionary sequence profiles. We discuss details of several modern SS and SSS predictors that are currently available to the users and which were published in higher impact venues.
