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

With standard scoring methods, top-ranked compounds from virtual screening by docking often turn out to be inactive. For this reason, metadynamics, a method used to sample rare events, was studied to further evaluate docking poses with the aim of reducing false positives. Specifically, virtual screening was performed with Glide SP to seek potential molecules to bind to the ATP site in the pseudokinase domain of JAK2 kinase, and promising compounds were selected from the top-ranked 1000 based on visualization. Rescoring with Glide XP, GOLD, and MM/GBSA was unable to differentiate well between active and inactive compounds. Metadynamics was then used to gauge the relative binding affinity from the required time or the potential of mean force needed to dissociate the ligand from the bound complex. With consideration of previously known binders of varying affinities, metadynamics was able to differentiate between the most active compounds and inactive or weakly active ones, and it could identify correctly most of the selected virtual screening compounds as false positives. Thus, metadynamics has the potential to be a viable postprocessing method for virtual screening, minimizing the expense of buying or synthesizing inactive compounds.
