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

Do Gō-type model potentials provide a valid approach for studying protein folding? They have been widely used for this purpose because of their simplicity and the speed of simulations based on their use. The essential assumption in such models is that only contact interactions existing in the native state determine the energy surface of a polypeptide chain, even for non-native configurations sampled along folding trajectories. Here we use an all-atom molecular mechanics energy function to investigate the adequacy of Gō-type potentials. We show that, although the contact approximation is accurate, non-native contributions to the energy can be significant. The assumed relation between residue-residue interaction energies and the number of contacts between them is found to be only approximate. By contrast, individual residue energies correlate very well with the number of contacts. The results demonstrate that models based on the latter should give meaningful results (e.g., as used to interpret phi values), whereas those that depend on the former are only qualitative, at best.
