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

Hydrodynamic properties are useful parameters for estimating the size and shape of proteins and nucleic acids in solution. The calculation of such properties from structural models informs on the solution properties of these molecules and complements corresponding structural studies. Here we report, to our knowledge, a new method to accurately predict the hydrodynamic properties of molecular structures. This method uses a convex hull model to estimate the hydrodynamic volume of the molecule and is orders of magnitude faster than common methods. It works well for both folded proteins and ensembles of conformationally heterogeneous proteins and for nucleic acids. Because of its simplicity and speed, the method should be useful for the modification of computer-generated, intrinsically disordered protein ensembles and ensembles of flexible, but folded, molecules in which rapid calculation of experimental parameters is needed. The convex hull method is implemented in a Python script called HullRad. The use of the method is facilitated by a web server and the code is freely available for batch applications.
