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

False negative docking outcomes for highly symmetric molecules are a barrier to the accurate evaluation of docking programs, scoring functions, and protocols. This work describes an implementation of a symmetry-corrected root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) method into the program DOCK based on the Hungarian algorithm for solving the minimum assignment problem, which dynamically assigns atom correspondence in molecules with symmetry. The algorithm adds only a trivial amount of computation time to the RMSD calculations and is shown to increase the reported overall docking success rate by approximately 5% when tested over 1043 receptor-ligand systems. For some families of protein systems the results are even more dramatic, with success rate increases up to 16.7%. Several additional applications of the method are also presented including as a pairwise similarity metric to compare molecules during de novo design, as a scoring function to rank-order virtual screening results, and for the analysis of trajectories from molecular dynamics simulation. The new method, including source code, is available to registered users of DOCK6 ( http://dock.compbio.ucsf.edu ).
