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

Probing protein surfaces to accurately predict the binding site and conformation of a small molecule is a challenge currently addressed through mainly two different approaches: blind docking and cavity detection-guided docking. Although cavity detection-guided blind docking has yielded high success rates, it is less practical when a large number of molecules must be screened against many detected binding sites. On the other hand, blind docking allows for simultaneous search of the whole protein surface, which however entails the loss of accuracy and speed. To bridge this gap, in this study, we developed and tested BLinDPyPr, an automated pipeline which uses FTMap and DOCK6 to perform a hybrid blind docking strategy. Through our algorithm, FTMap docked probe clusters are converted into DOCK6 spheres for determining binding regions. Because these spheres are solely derived from FTMap probes, their locations are contained in and specific to multiple potential binding pockets, which become the regions that are simultaneously probed and chosen by the search algorithm based on the properties of each candidate ligand. This method yields pose prediction results (45.2-54.3% success rates) comparable to those of site-specific docking with the classic DOCK6 workflow (49.7-54.3%) and is half as time-consuming as the conventional blind docking method with DOCK6.
