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

At resolutions worse than 3.5 Å, the electron density is weak or nonexistent at the locations of the side chains. Consequently, the assignment of the protein sequences to their correct positions along the backbone is a difficult problem. In this work, we propose a fully automated computational approach to assign sequence at low resolution. It is based on our surprising observation that standard reciprocal-space indicators, such as the initial unrefined R value, are sensitive enough to detect an erroneous sequence assignment of even a single backbone position. Our approach correctly determines the amino acid type for 15%, 13%, and 9% of the backbone positions in crystallographic datasets with resolutions of 4.0 Å, 4.5 Å, and 5.0 Å, respectively. We implement these findings in an application for threading a sequence onto a backbone structure. For the three resolution ranges, the application threads 83%, 81%, and 64% of the sequences exactly as in the deposited PDB structures.
