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

Multistructured biomolecular systems play crucial roles in a wide variety of cellular processes but have resisted traditional methods of structure determination, which often resolve only a few low-energy states. High-resolution structure determination using experimental methods that yield distributional data remains extremely difficult, especially when the underlying conformational ensembles are quite heterogeneous. We have therefore developed a method to integrate sparse, multimultimodal spectroscopic data to obtain high-resolution estimates of conformational ensembles. We have tested our method by incorporating double electron-electron resonance data on the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) protein syntaxin-1a into biased molecular dynamics simulations. We find that our method substantially outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in capturing syntaxin's open-closed conformational equilibrium and further yields new conformational states that are consistent with experimental data and may help in understanding syntaxin's function. Our improved methods for refining heterogeneous conformational ensembles from spectroscopic data will greatly accelerate the structural understanding of such systems.
