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

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or intrinsically disordered regions do not have a fixed tertiary structure but play key roles in signal regulation, molecule recognition, and drug targeting. However, it is difficult to study the structure and function of IDPs by traditional experimental methods because of their diverse conformations. Limitations of current generic protein force fields and solvent models were reported in the previous simulations of IDPs. We have also explored overcoming these limitations by developing the ff99IDPs and ff14IDPs force fields to correct the dihedral distribution for eight disorder-promoting residues often observed in IDPs and found encouraging improvements. Here we extend our correction of backbone dihedral terms to all 20 naturally occurring amino acids in the IDP-specific force field ff14IDPSFF to further improve the quality of the modeling of IDPs. Extensive tests of seven IDPs and 14 unstructured short peptides show that the simulated Cα chemical shifts obtained with the ff14IDPSFF force field are in quantitative agreement with those from NMR experiments and are more accurate than those obtained with the base generic force field and also our previous ff14IDPs that only corrects the eight disorder-promoting amino acids. The influence of the solvent model was also investigated and found to be less important. Finally, our explicit-solvent MD simulations further show that ff14IDPSFF can still be used to model structural and dynamical properties of two tested folded proteins, with a slightly better agreement in the loop regions for both structural and dynamical properties. These findings confirm that the newly developed IDP-specific force field ff14IDPSFF can improve the conformer sampling of intrinsically disordered proteins.
