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

Protein flexibility plays a major role in biomolecular recognition. In many cases, it is not obvious how molecular structure will change upon association with other molecules. In proteins, these changes can be major, with large deviations in overall backbone structure, or they can be more subtle as in a side-chain rotation. Either way the algorithms that predict the favorability of biomolecular association require relatively accurate predictions of the bound structure to give an accurate assessment of the energy involved in association. Here, we review a number of techniques that have been proposed to accommodate receptor flexibility in the simulation of small molecules binding to protein receptors. We investigate modifications to standard rigid receptor docking algorithms and also explore enhanced sampling techniques, and the combination of free energy calculations and enhanced sampling techniques. The understanding and allowance for receptor flexibility are helping to make computer simulations of ligand protein binding more accurate. These developments may help improve the efficiency of drug discovery and development. Efficiency will be essential as we begin to see personalized medicine tailored to individual patients, which means specific drugs are needed for each patient's genetic makeup.
