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

Efficient and accurate models to predict the fitness of a sequence would be extremely valuable in protein design. We have explored the use of statistical potentials for the coevolutionary fitness landscape, extracted from known protein sequences, in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations, as a tool for design. As proof of principle, we created a series of predicted high-fitness sequences for three different protein folds, representative of different structural classes: the GA (all-α) and GB (α/β) binding domains of streptococcal protein G, and an SH3 (all-β) domain. We found that most of the designed proteins can fold stably to the target structure, and a structure for a representative of each for GA, GB and SH3 was determined. Several of our designed proteins were also able to bind to native ligands, in some cases with higher affinity than wild-type. Thus, a search using a statistical fitness landscape is a remarkably effective tool for finding novel stable protein sequences.
