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

It is challenging to predict the docked conformations of two proteins. Current methods are susceptible to errors from treating proteins as rigid bodies and from an inability to compute relative Boltzmann populations of different docked conformations. Here, we show that by using the ClusPro server as a front end to generate possible protein-protein contacts, and using Modeling Employing Limited Data (MELD) accelerated molecular dynamics (MELD × MD) as a back end for atomistic simulations, we can find 16/20 native dimer structures of small proteins as those having the lowest free energy, starting from good-bound-backbone structures. We show that atomistic MD free energies can be used to identify native protein dimer structures.
