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

In this work, the information contained in the contacts between fragments of small-molecule ligands and protein residues has been collected and its exploitability has been verified by using the scoring of docking simulations as a test case for bringing about a proof of concept. Contact statistics between small-molecule fragments and binding site residues were collected and analyzed using a dataset composed of 200,000+ binding sites and associated ligands, derived from the database of the LIBRA ligand binding site recognition software, as a starting point. The fragments were generated by applying the decomposition algorithm implemented in BRICS. A simple "potential" based on the contact frequencies was tested against the CASF-2013 benchmark; its performance was then evaluated through the rescoring of docking poses generated for the DUD-E dataset. The results obtained indicate that this approach, its simplicity notwithstanding, yields promising results that are comparable, and in some cases, superior, to those obtained with other, more complex scoring functions.
