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

Natural product and synthetic macrocycles are chemically and topologically diverse. An efficient, accurate, and general method for generating macrocycle conformations would enable structure-based design of macrocycle drugs or host-guest complexes. Computational sampling also provides insight into transiently populated states, complementing crystallographic and NMR data. Here, we report a new algorithm, BRIKARD, that addresses this challenge through computational algebraic geometry and inverse kinematics together with local energy minimization. BRIKARD is demonstrated on 67 diverse macrocycles with structural data, encompassing various ring topologies. We find this approach enumerates diverse structures with macrocyclic RMSD < 1.0 Å to the experimental conformation for 85% of our data set in contrast to success rates of 67-75% with other approaches, while for the subset of 21 more challenging compounds in the data set, these rates are 57% and 10-29%, respectively. Because the algorithm can be efficiently run in parallel on many processors, exhaustive conformational sampling of complex cycles can be obtained in minutes rather than hours: with a 40 processor implementation protocol, BRIKARD samples the conformational diversity of a potential energy landscape in a median of 1.3 minutes of wallclock time, much faster than 3.1-10.3 hours necessary with current programs. By rigorously testing BRIKARD on a broad range of scaffolds with highly complex ring systems, we push the frontiers of macrocycle sampling to encompass multiring compounds, including those with more than 50 ring atoms and up to seven interlaced flexible rings.
