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

motivationInteractions between proteins and peptides or peptide-like intrinsically disordered regions are involved in many important biological processes, such as gene expression and cell life-cycle regulation. Experimentally determining the structure of such interactions is time-consuming and difficult because of the inherent flexibility of the peptide ligand. Although several prediction-methods exist, most are limited in performance or availability.

resultsInterPep2 is a freely available method for predicting the structure of peptide-protein interactions. Improved performance is obtained by using templates from both peptide-protein and regular protein-protein interactions, and by a random forest trained to predict the DockQ-score for a given template using sequence and structural features. When tested on 252 bound peptide-protein complexes from structures deposited after the complexes used in the construction of the training and templates sets of InterPep2, InterPep2-Refined correctly positioned 67 peptides within 4.0 Å LRMSD among top10, similar to another state-of-the-art template-based method which positioned 54 peptides correctly. However, InterPep2 displays a superior ability to evaluate the quality of its own predictions. On a previously established set of 27 non-redundant unbound-to-bound peptide-protein complexes, InterPep2 performs on-par with leading methods. The extended InterPep2-Refined protocol managed to correctly model 15 of these complexes within 4.0 Å LRMSD among top10, without using templates from homologs. In addition, combining the template-based predictions from InterPep2 with ab initio predictions from PIPER-FlexPepDock resulted in 22% more near-native predictions compared to the best single method (22 versus 18).
