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

Progress in cryo-electron microscopy has provided the potential for large-size protein structure determination. However, the success rate for solving multi-domain proteins remains low because of the difficulty in modelling inter-domain orientations. Here we developed domain enhanced modeling using cryo-electron microscopy (DEMO-EM), an automatic method to assemble multi-domain structures from cryo-electron microscopy maps through a progressive structural refinement procedure combining rigid-body domain fitting and flexible assembly simulations with deep-neural-network inter-domain distance profiles. The method was tested on a large-scale benchmark set of proteins containing up to 12 continuous and discontinuous domains with medium- to low-resolution density maps, where DEMO-EM produced models with correct inter-domain orientations (template modeling score (TM-score) >0.5) for 97% of cases and outperformed state-of-the-art methods. DEMO-EM was applied to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 genome and generated models with average TM-score and root-mean-square deviation of 0.97 and 1.3 Å, respectively, with respect to the deposited structures. These results demonstrate an efficient pipeline that enables automated and reliable large-scale multi-domain protein structure modelling from cryo-electron microscopy maps.
