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

Kinases compose one of the largest fractions of the human proteome, and their misfunction is implicated in many diseases, in particular, cancers. The ubiquitousness and structural similarities of kinases make specific and effective drug design difficult. In particular, conformational variability due to the evolutionarily conserved Asp-Phe-Gly (DFG) motif adopting in and out conformations and the relative stabilities thereof are key in structure-based drug design for ATP competitive drugs. These relative conformational stabilities are extremely sensitive to small changes in sequence and provide an important problem for sampling method development. Since the invention of AlphaFold2, the world of structure-based drug design has noticeably changed. In spite of it being limited to crystal-like structure prediction, several methods have also leveraged its underlying architecture to improve dynamics and enhanced sampling of conformational ensembles, including AlphaFold2-RAVE. Here, we extend AlphaFold2-RAVE and apply it to a set of kinases: the wild type DDR1 sequence and three mutants with single point mutations that are known to behave drastically differently. We show that AlphaFold2-RAVE is able to efficiently recover the changes in relative stability using transferable learned order parameters and potentials, thereby supplementing AlphaFold2 as a tool for exploration of Boltzmann-weighted protein conformations (Meller, A.; Bhakat, S.; Solieva, S.; Bowman, G.
