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 rapid development of deep learning-based methods has considerably advanced the field of protein structure prediction. The accuracy of predicting the 3D structures of simple proteins is comparable to that of experimentally determined structures, providing broad possibilities for structure-based biological studies. Another critical question is whether and how multistate structures can be predicted from a given protein sequence. In this study, analysis of tens of two-state proteins demonstrated that deep learning-based contact map predictions contain structural information on both states, which suggests that it is probably appropriate to change the target of deep learning-based protein structure prediction from one specific structure to multiple likely structures. Furthermore, by combining deep learning- and physics-based computational methods, we developed a protocol for exploring alternative conformations from a known structure of a given protein, by which we successfully approached the holo-state conformations of multiple representative proteins from their apo-state structures.
