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

Advances in structural biology and the exponential increase in the amount of high-quality experimental structural data available in the Protein Data Bank has motivated numerous studies to tackle the grand challenge of predicting protein structures. In 2020 AlphaFold2 revolutionized the field using a combination of artificial intelligence and the evolutionary information contained in multiple sequence alignments. Antibodies are one of the most important classes of biotherapeutic proteins. Accurate structure models are a prerequisite to advance biophysical property predictions and consequently antibody design. Specialized tools used to predict antibody structures based on different principles have profited from current advances in protein structure prediction based on artificial intelligence. Here, we emphasize the importance of reliable protein structure models and highlight the enormous advances in the field, but we also aim to increase awareness that protein structure models, and in particular antibody models, may suffer from structural inaccuracies, namely incorrect cis-amide bonds, wrong stereochemistry or clashes. We show that these inaccuracies affect biophysical property predictions such as surface hydrophobicity. Thus, we stress the importance of carefully reviewing protein structure models before investing further computing power and setting up experiments. To facilitate the assessment of model quality, we provide a tool "TopModel" to validate structure models.
