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

Analysis of a newly sequenced bacterial genome starts with identification of protein-coding genes. Functional assignment of proteins requires the exact knowledge of protein N-termini. We present a new program ORPHEUS that identifies candidate genes and accurately predicts gene starts. The analysis starts with a database similarity search and identification of reliable gene fragments. The latter are used to derive statistical characteristics of protein-coding regions and ribosome-binding sites and to predict the complete set of genes in the analyzed genome. In a test on Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli genomes, the program correctly identified 93.3% (resp. 96.3%) of experimentally annotated genes longer than 100 codons described in the PIR-International database, and for these genes 96.3% (83.9%) of starts were predicted exactly. Furthermore, 98.9% (99.1%) of genes longer than 100 codons annotated in GenBank were found, and 92.9% (75.7%) of predicted starts coincided with the feature table description. Finally, for the complete gene complements of B.subtilis and E.coli , including genes shorter than 100 codons, gene prediction accuracy was 88.9 and 87.1%, respectively, with 94.2 and 76.7% starts coinciding with the existing annotation.
