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

We present an integrated experimental and computational approach for de novo protein structure determination in which short-distance cross-linking data are incorporated into rapid discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations as constraints, reducing the conformational space and achieving the correct protein folding on practical time scales. We tested our approach on myoglobin and FK506 binding protein-models for α helix-rich and β sheet-rich proteins, respectively-and found that the lowest-energy structures obtained were in agreement with the crystal structure, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, surface modification, and long-distance cross-linking validation data. Our approach is readily applicable to other proteins with unknown structures.
