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

motivationStructure-based stability prediction upon mutation is crucial for protein engineering and design, and for understanding genetic diseases or drug resistance events. For this task, we adopted a simple residue-based orientational potential that considers only three backbone atoms, previously applied in protein modeling. Its application to stability prediction only requires parametrizing 12 amino acid-dependent weights using cross-validation strategies on a curated dataset in which we tried to reduce the mutations that belong to protein-protein or protein-ligand interfaces, extreme conditions and the alanine over-representation.

resultsOur method, called KORPM, accurately predicts mutational effects on an independent benchmark dataset, whether the wild-type or mutated structure is used as starting point. Compared with state-of-the-art methods on this balanced dataset, our approach obtained the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) and the highest correlation between predicted and experimental ΔΔG measures, as well as better receiver operating characteristics and precision-recall curves. Our method is almost anti-symmetric by construction, and it performs thus similarly for the direct and reverse mutations with the corresponding wild-type and mutated structures. Despite the strong limitations of the available experimental mutation data in terms of size, variability, and heterogeneity, we show competitive results with a simple sum of energy terms, which is more efficient and less prone to overfitting.
