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

In this article, we introduce and apply our de novo protein design framework, which observes true backbone flexibility, to the redesign of human beta-defensin-2, a 41-residue cationic antimicrobial peptide of the innate immune system. The flexible design templates are generated using molecular dynamics simulations with both Generalized Born implicit solvation and explicit water molecules. These backbone templates were employed in addition to the x-ray crystal structure for designing human beta-defensin-2. The computational efficiency of our framework was demonstrated with the full-sequence design of the peptide with flexible backbone templates, corresponding to the mutation of all positions except the native cysteines.
