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

We introduce a side-chain-inclusive scoring function, named OPUS-SSF, for ranking protein structural models. The method builds a scoring function based on the native distributions of the coordinate components of certain anchoring points in a local molecular system for peptide segments of 5, 7, 9, and 11 residues in length. Differing from our previous OPUS-CSF [Xu et al., Protein Sci. 2018; 27: 286-292], which exclusively uses main chain information, OPUS-SSF employs anchoring points on side chains so that the effect of side chains is taken into account. The performance of OPUS-SSF was tested on 15 decoy sets containing totally 603 proteins, and 571 of them had their native structures recognized from their decoys. Similar to OPUS-CSF, OPUS-SSF does not employ the Boltzmann formula in constructing scoring functions. The results indicate that OPUS-SSF has achieved a significant improvement on decoy recognition and it should be a very useful tool for protein structural prediction and modeling.
