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

Predicting the poses of small-molecule ligands in protein binding sites is often done by virtual screening algorithms such as DOCK. In principle, molecular dynamics (MD) using atomistic force fields could give better free-energy-based pose selection, but MD is computationally expensive. Here, we ask if modeling employing limited data (MELD)-accelerated MD (MELD × MD) can pick out the best DOCK poses taken as input. We study 30 different ligand-protein pairs. MELD × MD finds native poses, based on best free energies, in 23 out of the 30 cases, 20 of which were previously known DOCK failures. We conclude that MELD × MD can add value for predicting accurate poses of small molecules bound to proteins.
