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

Allosteric regulation is a primary means of controlling protein function. By definition, allostery involves the propagation of structural dynamic changes between distal protein sites that yields a functional change. Gaining improved knowledge of these fundamental mechanisms is important for understanding many biomolecular processes and for guiding protein engineering and drug design efforts. In this work we compare and contrast a range of normal mode analysis (NMA) approaches together with network analysis for the prediction of structural dynamics and allosteric sites. Application to heterotrimeric G proteins, hemoglobin, and caspase 7 indicates that atomistic elastic network models provide improved predictions of experimental allosteric mutation sites. Results for G proteins also display an improved consistency with those derived from more computationally demanding MD simulations. Application of this approach across available experimental structures for a given protein family in a unified manner, that we refer to as ensemble NMA, yields the best overall predictive performance. We propose that this atomistic ensemble NMA approach represents an efficient and powerful tool for guiding the exploration of coupled motions and allosteric mechanisms in cases where multiple structures are available and where MD may prove prohibitively expensive.
