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

The conformational flexibility of a biomolecule may play a crucial role in its biological function. Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) is a very popular technique for characterizing biomolecule flexibility. It can be used to determine a possible structural ensemble of the biomolecule in solution with the aid of a computer simulation. In this article, we present a tool written in Python, which iteratively runs multiple independent enhanced sampling simulations such as amplified collective motions and accelerated molecular dynamics, and an ensemble optimization method to drive the biomolecule toward an ensemble that fits the SAXS data well. The tool has been validated with a protein and an RNA system, i.e., the tandem WW domains of formin-binding protein 21 and the aptamer domain of SAM-1 riboswitch, respectively. These Python scripts are user-friendly and can be easily modified if a different simulation engine is preferred.
