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

The function of proteins can often be inferred from their three-dimensional structures. Experimental structural biologists spent decades studying these structures, but the accelerated pace of protein sequencing continuously increases the gaps between sequences and structures. The early 2020s saw the advent of a new generation of deep learning-based protein structure prediction tools that offer the potential to predict structures based on any number of protein sequences. In this review, we give an overview of the impact of this new generation of structure prediction tools, with examples of the impacted field in the life sciences. We discuss the novel opportunities and new scientific and technical challenges these tools present to the broader scientific community. Finally, we highlight some potential directions for the future of computational protein structure prediction.
