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

Characterizing glycans and glycoconjugates in the context of three-dimensional structures is important in understanding their biological roles and developing efficient therapeutic agents. Computational modeling and molecular simulation have become an essential tool complementary to experimental methods. Here, we present a computational tool, Glycan Modeler for in silico N-/O-glycosylation of the target protein and generation of carbohydrate-only systems. In our previous study, we developed Glycan Reader, a web-based tool for detecting carbohydrate molecules from a PDB structure and generation of simulation system and input files. As integrated into Glycan Reader in CHARMM-GUI, Glycan Modeler (Glycan Reader & Modeler) enables to generate the structures of glycans and glycoconjugates for given glycan sequences and glycosylation sites using PDB glycan template structures from Glycan Fragment Database (http://glycanstructure.org/fragment-db). Our benchmark tests demonstrate the universal applicability of Glycan Reader & Modeler to various glycan sequences and target proteins. We also investigated the structural properties of modeled glycan structures by running 2-μs molecular dynamics simulations of HIV envelope protein. The simulations show that the modeled glycan structures built by Glycan Reader & Modeler have the similar structural features compared to the ones solved by X-ray crystallography. We also describe the representative examples of glycoconjugate modeling with video demos to illustrate the practical applications of Glycan Reader & Modeler. Glycan Reader & Modeler is freely available at http://charmm-gui.org/input/glycan.
