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

Despite the proven potential of metal complexes as therapeutics, the lack of computational tools available for the high-throughput screening of their interactions with proteins is a limiting factor toward clinical developments. To address this challenge, we introduce MetalDock, an easy-to-use, open access docking software for docking metal complexes to proteins. Our tool integrates the AutoDock docking engine with three well-known quantum software packages to automate the docking of metal-organic complexes to proteins. We used a Monte Carlo sampling scheme to obtain the missing Lennard-Jones parameters for 12 metal atom types and demonstrated that these parameters generalize exceptionally well. Our results show that the poses obtained by MetalDock are highly accurate, as they predict the binding geometries experimentally determined by crystal structures with high spatial reproducibility. Three different case studies are presented that demonstrate the versatility of MetalDock for the docking of diverse metal-organic compounds to different biomacromolecules, including nucleic acids.
