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

Understanding the process of ligand-protein recognition is important to unveil biological mechanisms and to guide drug discovery and design. Enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics is now routinely used to simulate the ligand binding process, resulting in the need for suitable tools for the analysis of large data sets of binding events. Here, we designed, implemented, and tested PathDetect-SOM, a tool based on self-organizing maps to build concise visual models of the ligand binding pathways sampled along single simulations or replicas. The tool performs a geometric clustering of the trajectories and traces the pathways over an easily interpretable 2D map and, using an approximate transition matrix, it can build a graph model of concurrent pathways. The tool was tested on three study cases representing different types of problems and simulation techniques. A clear reconstruction of the sampled pathways was derived in all cases, and useful information on the energetic features of the processes was recovered. The tool is available at https://github.com/MottaStefano/PathDetect-SOM.
