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 sequence not only determines its structure but also provides important clues of its subcellular localization. Although a series of artificial intelligence models have been reported to predict protein subcellular localization, most of them provide only textual outputs. Here, we present deepGPS, a deep generative model for protein subcellular localization prediction. After training with protein primary sequences and fluorescence images, deepGPS shows the ability to predict cytoplasmic and nuclear localizations by reporting both textual labels and generative images as outputs. In addition, cell-type-specific deepGPS models can be developed by using distinct image datasets from different cell lines for comparative analyses. Moreover, deepGPS shows potential to be further extended for other specific organelles, such as vesicles and endoplasmic reticulum, even with limited volumes of training data. Finally, the openGPS website (https://bits.fudan.edu.cn/opengps) is constructed to provide a publicly accessible and user-friendly platform for studying protein subcellular localization and function.
