Are figure legends sufficient? Evaluating the contribution of associated text to biomedical figure comprehension

BACKGROUND Biomedical scientists need to access figures to validate research facts and to formulate or to test novel research hypotheses. However, figures are difficult to comprehend without associated text (e.g., figure legend and other reference text). We are developing automated systems to extract the relevant explanatory information along with figures extracted from full text articles. Such...

Figure 1. Sequence alignments of PA200 homologs. The sequences of PA200 homologs were aligned with the program MegAlign using the clustal method (DNASTAR).The sequence of human PA200 has been constructed from analysis of the human genome and from the cDNA KIAA0077. Tim Formosa (University of Utah) recently sequenced the putative intergenic region between BLM3 and YFL006 and found an additional ...

Figure 6. Example scatter plots showing binding of p65 and p50 to gene promoters in living cells. Microarray data from p65 ChIP in unstimulated cells and p50 ChIP following LPS stimulation. The x-axis represents the hybridization signal intensity for input whole cell extract (WCE) DNA (log10 Cy3 background-subtracted signal). The yaxis shows the intensity for DNA enriched by ChIP using antibodi...
