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

Introduction: Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by dysfunction of the immune system components. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent severe or life-threatening complications. PIDs are manifested by diverse clinical symptoms, posing challenges for accurate diagnosis. A key aspect of PID diagnosis is identifying specific amino acid substitutions in the proteins related with heritable diseases. In this study, we have developed classification sequence-structure-property relationships (SSPR) models for predicting the pathogenicity of amino acid substitutions (AAS) in 25 proteins associated with the most important and genetically studied PIDs and encoded genes: Methods: The data on 4825 pathogenic and benign AASs in the selected proteins were extracted from ClinVar and gnomAD. SSPR models were created for each protein using the MultiPASS software based on the Bayesian algorithm and different levels of MNA (Multilevel Neighborhoods of Atoms) descriptors for the representation of structural formulas of protein fragments including AAS. Results: The accuracy of prediction was assessed through a 5-fold cross-validation and compared to other bioinformatics tools, such as SIFT4G, Polyphen2 HDIV, FATHMM, MetaSVM, PROVEAN, ClinPred, and Alpha Missense. The best SSPR models demonstrated high accuracy, with an average ROC AUC of 0.831 ± 0.037, a Balanced accuracy of (0.763 ± 0.034), MCC (0.457 ± 0.06), and F-measure (0.623 ± 0.07) across all genes, outperforming the most popular bioinformatics tools. Conclusions: The best created SSPR models for the prediction of pathogenicity of amino acid substitutions related with PIDs have been implemented in a freely available web application SAV-Pred (Single Amino acid Variants Predictor, http://www.way2drug.com/SAV-Pred/), which may be a useful tool for medical geneticists and clinicians. The use of SAV-Pred for some clinical cases of PIDs are provided.
