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

Summary: Recently, LIBRA, a tool for active/ligand binding site prediction, was described. LIBRA's effectiveness was comparable to similar state-of-the-art tools; however, its scoring scheme, output presentation, dependence on local resources and overall convenience were amenable to improvements. To solve these issues, LIBRA-WA, a web application based on an improved LIBRA engine, has been developed, featuring a novel scoring scheme consistently improving LIBRA's performance, and a refined algorithm that can identify binding sites hosted at the interface between different subunits. LIBRA-WA also sports additional functionalities like ligand clustering and a completely redesigned interface for an easier analysis of the output. Extensive tests on 373 apoprotein structures indicate that LIBRA-WA is able to identify the biologically relevant ligand/ligand binding site in 357 cases (∼96%), with the correct prediction ranking first in 349 cases (∼98% of the latter, ∼94% of the total). The earlier stand-alone tool has also been updated and dubbed LIBRA+, by integrating LIBRA-WA's improved engine for cross-compatibility purposes. Availability and implementation: LIBRA-WA and LIBRA+ are available at: http://www.computationalbiology.it/software.html. Contact: polticel@uniroma3.it. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
