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

Domain classifications are a useful resource for computational analysis of the protein structure, but elements of their composition are often opaque to potential users. We perform a comparative analysis of our classification ECOD against the SCOPe, SCOP2, and CATH domain classifications with respect to their constituent domain boundaries and hierarchal organization. The coverage of these domain classifications with respect to ECOD and to the PDB was assessed by structure and by sequence. We also conducted domain pair analysis to determine broad differences in hierarchy between domains shared by ECOD and other classifications. Finally, we present domains from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transporter proteins and provide evidence that supports their split into domains and for multiple conformations within these families. We find that the ECOD and CATH provide the most extensive structural coverage of the PDB. ECOD and SCOPe have the most consistent domain boundary conditions, whereas CATH and SCOP2 both differ significantly.
