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

Motivation: Gene regulation involves complex interactions between transcription factors. While early attempts to predict gene expression were trained using naturally occurring promoters, gigantic parallel reporter assays have vastly expanded potential training data. Despite this, it is still unclear how to best use deep learning to study gene regulation. Here, we investigate the association between promoters and expression using Camformer, a residual convolutional neural network that ranked fourth in the Random Promoter DREAM Challenge 2022. We present the original model trained on 6.7 million sequences and investigate 270 alternative models to find determinants of model performance. Finally, we use explainable AI to uncover regulatory signals. Results: Camformer accurately decodes the association between promoters and gene expression ( Availability and implementation: Data and code are available at: https://github.com/Bornelov-lab/Camformer.
