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

The development of fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms enabled the sampling of billions of complex conformations and thus revolutionized protein-protein docking. FFT-based methods are now widely available and have been used in hundreds of thousands of docking calculations. Although the methods perform "soft" docking, which allows for some overlap of component proteins, the rigid body assumption clearly introduces limitations on accuracy and reliability. In addition, the method can work only with energy expressions represented by sums of correlation functions. In this paper we use a well-established protein-protein docking benchmark set to evaluate the results of these limitations by focusing on the performance of the docking server ClusPro, which implements one of the best rigid body methods. Furthermore, we explore the theoretical limits of accuracy when using established energy terms for scoring, provide comparison with flexible docking algorithms, and review the historical performance of servers in the CAPRI docking experiment.
