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

Despite the immense progress recently witnessed in protein structure prediction, the modeling accuracy for proteins that lack sequence and/or structure homologs remains to be improved. We developed an open-source program, DeepFold, which integrates spatial restraints predicted by multi-task deep residual neural-networks along with a knowledge-based energy function to guide its gradient-descent folding simulations. The results on large-scale benchmark tests showed that DeepFold creates full-length models with accuracy significantly beyond classical folding approaches and other leading deep learning methods. Of particular interest is the modeling performance on the most difficult targets with very few homologous sequences, where DeepFold achieved an average TM-score that was 40.3% higher than trRosetta and 44.9% higher than DMPfold. Furthermore, the folding simulations for DeepFold were 262 times faster than traditional fragment assembly simulations. These results demonstrate the power of accurately predicted deep learning potentials to improve both the accuracy and speed of ab initio protein structure prediction.
