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

Identification of correct protein-ligand binding poses is important in structure-based drug design and crucial for the evaluation of protein-ligand binding affinity. Protein-ligand coordinates are commonly obtained from crystallography experiments that provide a static model of an ensemble of conformations. Binding pose metadynamics (BPMD) is an enhanced sampling method that allows for an efficient assessment of ligand stability in solution. Ligand poses that are unstable under the bias of the metadynamics simulation are expected to be infrequently occupied in the energy landscape, thus making minimal contributions to the binding affinity. Here, the robustness of the method is studied using crystal structures with ligands known to be incorrectly modeled, as well as 63 structurally diverse crystal structures with ligand fit to electron density from the Twilight database. Results show that BPMD can successfully differentiate compounds whose binding pose is not supported by the electron density from those with well-defined electron density.
