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

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly advanced the ability to predict genome function from sequence. However, elucidating underlying biological mechanisms from genomic DNNs remains challenging. Existing interpretability methods, such as attribution maps, have their origins in non-biological machine learning applications and therefore have the potential to be improved by incorporating domain-specific interpretation strategies. Here we introduce SQUID, a genomic DNN interpretability framework based on domain-specific surrogate modeling. SQUID approximates genomic DNNs in user-specified regions of sequence space using surrogate models-simpler quantitative models that have inherently interpretable mathematical forms. SQUID leverages domain knowledge to model
