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

Predicting the impact of mutations on proteins remains an important problem. As part of the CAGI5 frataxin challenge, we evaluate the accuracy with which Provean, FoldX, and ELASPIC can predict changes in the Gibbs free energy of a protein using a limited data set of eight mutations. We find that different methods have distinct strengths and limitations, with no method being strictly superior to other methods on all metrics. ELASPIC achieves the highest accuracy while also providing a web interface which simplifies the evaluation and analysis of mutations. FoldX is slightly less accurate than ELASPIC but is easier to run locally, as it does not depend on external tools or datasets. Provean achieves reasonable results while being computational less expensive than the other methods and not requiring a structure of the protein. In addition to methods submitted to the CAGI5 community experiment, and with the aim to inform about other methods with high accuracy, we also evaluate predictions made by Rosetta's ddg_monomer protocol, Rosetta's cartesian_ddg protocol, and thermodynamic integration calculations using Amber package. ELASPIC still achieves the highest accuracy, while Rosetta's catesian_ddg protocol appears to perform best in capturing the overall trend in the data.
