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

Structure graphs, in which interacting amino acids/nucleotides correspond to linked nodes, represent cutting-edge tools to investigate macromolecular function. The graph-based approach defined as Protein Structure Network (PSN) was initially implemented in the Wordom software and subsequently in the webPSN server. PSNs are computed either on a molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory (PSN-MD) or on a single structure. In the latter case, information on atomic fluctuations is inferred from the Elastic Network Model-Normal Mode Analysis (ENM-NMA) (PSN-ENM). While Wordom performs both PSN-ENM and PSN-MD analyses but without output post-processing, the webPSN server performs only single-structure PSN-EMN but assisting the user in input setup and output analysis. Here we release for the first time the standalone software PSNtools, which allows calculation and post-processing of PSN analyses carried out either on single structures or on conformational ensembles. Relevant unique and novel features of PSNtools are either comparisons of two networks or computations of consensus networks on sets of homologous/analogous macromolecular structures or conformational ensembles. Network comparisons and consensus serve to infer differences in functionally different states of the same system or network-based signatures in groups of bio-macromolecules sharing either the same functionality or the same fold. In addition to the new software, here we release also an updated version of the webPSN server, which allows performing an interactive graphical analysis of PSN-MD, following the upload of the PSNtools output. PSNtools, the auxiliary binary version of Wordom software, and the WebPSN server are freely available at http://webpsn.hpc.unimo.it/wpsn3.php.
