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

Predicting the correct pose of a ligand binding to a protein and its associated binding affinity is of great importance in computer-aided drug discovery. A number of approaches have been developed to these ends, ranging from the widely used fast molecular docking to the computationally expensive enhanced sampling molecular simulations. In this context, methods such as coarse-grained metadynamics and binding pose metadynamics (BPMD) use simulations with metadynamics biasing to probe the binding affinity without trying to fully converge the binding free energy landscape in order to decrease the computational cost. In BPMD, the metadynamics bias perturbs the ligand away from the initial pose. The resistance of the ligand to this bias is used to calculate a stability score. The method has been shown to be useful in reranking predicted binding poses from docking. Here, we present OpenBPMD, an open-source Python reimplementation and reinterpretation of BPMD. OpenBPMD is powered by the OpenMM simulation engine and uses a revised scoring function. The algorithm was validated by testing it on a wide range of targets and showing that it matches or exceeds the performance of the original BPMD. We also investigated the role of accurate water positioning on the performance of the algorithm and showed how the combination with a grand-canonical Monte Carlo algorithm improves the accuracy of the predictions.
