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

Mixed-solvent molecular dynamics (MixMD) is a cosolvent simulation technique for identifying binding hotspots and specific favorable interactions on a protein's surface. MixMD studies have the ability to identify these biologically relevant sites by examining the occupancy of the cosolvent over the course of the simulation. However, previous MixMD analysis required a great deal of manual inspection to identify relevant sites. To address this limitation, we have developed MixMD Probeview as a plugin for the freely available, open-source version of the molecular visualization program PyMOL. MixMD Probeview incorporates two analysis procedures: (1) identifying and ranking whole binding sites and (2) identifying and ranking local maxima for each probe type. These functionalities were validated using four common benchmark proteins, including two with both active and allosteric sites. In addition, three different cosolvent procedures were compared to examine the impact of including more than one cosolvent in the simulations. For all systems tested, MixMD Probeview successfully identified known active and allosteric sites based on the total occupancy of neutral probe molecules. As an easy-to-use PyMOL plugin, we expect that MixMD Probeview will facilitate identification and analysis of binding sites from cosolvent simulations performed on a wide range of systems.
