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 paper reports a method for high-accuracy protein structural refinement, which is a direct extension of the method in our recent publication (Zang, J Chem Phys 2018; 149:072319). It combines a parallel continuous simulated tempering (PCST) method with a temperature-dependent restraint and a blind model selection scheme. In this work, a single-reference-based restraint in previous work was changed to an ensemble-based model (EBM), in which the non-bonded Lennard-Jones term for each contacting atomic pair in previous restraining potential was replaced by a multi-Gaussian function whose parameters are derived from an ensemble of structures such as the ones from various CASP participating groups. The purpose of EBM is to take advantage of partial "correctness" distributed among members of the structural ensemble. Totally 18 targets were refined from the refinement category of CASP10, CASP11 and CASP12. In Top-1 group, 11 out of 18 targets had better models (greater GDT_TS scores) than the CASPR participants. In Top-5 group, nine out of 18 were better. Our results show that PCST-EBM method can considerably improve the low-accuracy structures.
