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

This protocol describes a workflow for creating structural models of proteins or protein complexes using distance restraints derived from cross-linking mass spectrometry experiments. The distance restraints are used (i) to adjust preliminary models that are calculated on the basis of a homologous template and primary sequence, and (ii) to select the model that is in best agreement with the experimental data. In the case of protein complexes, the cross-linking data are further used to dock the subunits to one another to generate models of the interacting proteins. Predicting models in such a manner has the potential to indicate multiple conformations and dynamic changes that occur in solution. This modeling protocol is compatible with many cross-linking workflows and uses open-source programs or programs that are free for academic users and do not require expertise in computational modeling. This protocol is an excellent additional application with which to use cross-linking results for building structural models of proteins. The established protocol is expected to take 6-12 d to complete, depending on the size of the proteins and the complexity of the cross-linking data.
