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

backgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-induced drug resistance is a difficult problem in lung cancer treatment. Studying the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance can help to develop corresponding treatment strategies and benefit new drug design.

methodsIn this study, Rosetta was employed to model the EGFR mutant structures. Then Amber was carried out to conduct molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Afterwards, we used Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL) to compute the alpha shape model of the mutants.

resultsWe analyzed the EGFR mutation-induced drug resistance based on the motion trajectories obtained from MD simulation. We computed alpha shape model of all the trajectory frames for each mutation type. Solid angle was used to characterize the curvature of the atoms at the drug binding site. We measured the knob level of the drug binding pocket of each mutant from two ways and analyzed its relationship with the drug response level. Results show that 90 % of the mutants can be grouped correctly by setting a certain knob level threshold.

conclusionsThere is a strong correlation between the geometric properties of the drug binding pocket of the EGFR mutants and the corresponding drug responses, which can be used to predict the response of a new EGFR mutant to a drug molecule.
