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

The associative memory, water-mediated, structure and energy model (AWSEM) has been successfully used to study protein folding, binding, and aggregation problems. In this work, we introduce AWSEM-IDP, a new AWSEM branch for simulating intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), where the weights of the potentials determining secondary structure formation have been finely tuned, and a novel potential is introduced that helps to precisely control both the average extent of protein chain collapse and the chain's fluctuations in size. AWSEM-IDP can efficiently sample large conformational spaces, while retaining sufficient molecular accuracy to realistically model proteins. We applied this new model to two IDPs, demonstrating that AWSEM-IDP can reasonably well reproduce higher-resolution reference data, thus providing the foundation for a transferable IDP force field. Finally, we used thermodynamic perturbation theory to show that, in general, the conformational ensembles of IDPs are highly sensitive to fine-tuning of force field parameters.
