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

Applying atomistic computational modeling to drug discovery has proven to be a hugely successful approach, allowing drug-receptor interactions to be predicted and drugs to be optimized for potency, selectivity, and safety. However, when it comes to predicting protein-protein interactions and to rationally designing regulators of these interactions, computational tools often fail. Here, we report one of the rare instances where state-of-the-art computer simulations, guided by experiment, were able to correctly predict one of the most sophisticated protein-protein interactions. We revisit our previous discovery of the complex of human PD-1 with the ligand PD-L1 and compare our earlier findings with the recently published crystal structure of the same complex. Side-by-side comparison of the model of the complex with its crystal structure reveals outstanding agreement and suggests that our protein-protein prediction workflow could be applied to similar problems.
