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

Recent advances in iterative neural network analyses (e.g., AlphaFold2 and RoseTTA fold) have been revolutionary for protein 3D structure prediction, especially for difficult-to-manipulate α-helical/β-barrel integral membrane proteins. These model structures are calculated based on the coevolution of amino acids within the protein of interest and similarities to existing protein structures; the local effects of the membrane on folding and stability of the calculated model structures are not considered. We recently reported the discovery, 3D modeling, and characterization of 18-β-stranded outer-membrane (OM) WzpX, WzpS, and WzpB β-barrel secretion porins for the exopolysaccharide (EPS), major spore coat polysaccharide (MASC), and biosurfactant polysaccharide (BPS) pathways (respectively) in the Gram-negative social predatory bacterium
