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

Allostery is a pervasive mechanism that regulates protein activity through ligand binding at a site different from the orthosteric site. The universality of allosteric regulation complemented by the benefits of highly specific and potentially non-toxic allosteric drugs makes uncovering allosteric sites invaluable. However, there are few computational methods to effectively predict them. Bond-to-bond propensity analysis has successfully predicted allosteric sites in 19 of 20 cases using an energy-weighted atomistic graph. We here extended the analysis onto 432 structures of 146 proteins from two benchmarking datasets for allosteric proteins: ASBench and CASBench. We further introduced two statistical measures to account for the cumulative effect of high-propensity residues and the crucial residues in a given site. The allosteric site is recovered for 127 of 146 proteins (407 of 432 structures) knowing only the orthosteric sites or ligands. The quantitative analysis using a range of statistical measures enables better characterization of potential allosteric sites and mechanisms involved.
