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

The protein structure prediction (PSP) problem is concerned with the prediction of the folded, native, tertiary structure of a protein given its sequence of amino acids. It is a challenging and computationally open problem, as proven by the numerous methodological attempts and the research effort applied to it in the last few years. The potential energy functions used in the literature to evaluate the conformation of a protein are based on the calculations of two different interaction energies: local (bond atoms) and non-local (non-bond atoms). In this paper, we show experimentally that those types of interactions are in conflict, and do so by using the potential energy function Chemistry at HARvard Macromolecular Mechanics. A multi-objective formulation of the PSP problem is introduced and its applicability studied. We use a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm as a search procedure for exploring the conformational space of the PSP problem.
