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 report the performance of our newly introduced Ensemble Docking with Enhanced sampling of pocket Shape (EDES) protocol coupled to a template-based algorithm to generate near-native ligand conformations in the 2019 iteration of the Grand Challenge (GC4) organized by the D3R consortium. Using either AutoDock4.2 or HADDOCK2.2 docking programs (each software in two variants of the protocol) our method generated native-like poses among the top 5 submitted for evaluation for most of the 20 targets with similar performances. The protein selected for GC4 was the human beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE-1), a transmembrane aspartic-acid protease. We identified at least one pose whose heavy-atoms RMSD was less than 2.5 Å from the native conformation for 16 (80%) and 17 (85%) of the 20 targets using AutoDock and HADDOCK, respectively. Dissecting the possible sources of errors revealed that: (i) our EDES protocol (with minor modifications) was able to sample sub-ångstrom conformations for all 20 protein targets, reproducing the correct conformation of the binding site within ~ 1 Å RMSD; (ii) as already shown by some of us in GC3, even in the presence of near-native protein structures, a proper selection of ligand conformers is crucial for the success of ensemble-docking calculations. Importantly, our approach performed best among the protocols exploiting only structural information of the apo protein to generate conformations of the receptor for ensemble-docking calculations.
