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 the current "genomic era" the number of identified genes is growing exponentially. However, the biological function of a large number of the corresponding proteins is still unknown. Recognition of small molecule ligands (e.g., substrates, inhibitors, allosteric regulators, etc.) is pivotal for protein functions in the vast majority of the cases and knowledge of the region where these processes take place is essential for protein function prediction and drug design. In this regard, computational methods represent essential tools to tackle this problem. A significant number of software tools have been developed in the last few years which exploit either protein sequence information, structure information or both. This review describes the most recent developments in protein function recognition and binding site prediction, in terms of both freely-available and commercial solutions and tools, detailing the main characteristics of the considered tools and providing a comparative analysis of their performance.
