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

Protein aggregation is behind the genesis of incurable diseases and imposes constraints on drug discovery and the industrial production and formulation of proteins. Over the years, we have been advancing the Aggresscan3D (A3D) method, aiming to deepen our comprehension of protein aggregation and assist the engineering of protein solubility. Since its inception, A3D has become one of the most popular structure-based aggregation predictors because of its performance, modular functionalities, RESTful service for extensive screenings, and intuitive user interface. Building on this foundation, we introduce Aggrescan4D (A4D), significantly extending A3D's functionality. A4D is aimed at predicting the pH-dependent aggregation of protein structures, and features an evolutionary-informed automatic mutation protocol to engineer protein solubility without compromising structure and stability. It also integrates precalculated results for the nearly 500,000 jobs in the A3D Model Organisms Database and structure retrieval from the AlphaFold database. Globally, A4D constitutes a comprehensive tool for understanding, predicting, and designing solutions for specific protein aggregation challenges. The A4D web server and extensive documentation are available at https://biocomp.chem.uw.edu.pl/a4d/. This website is free and open to all users without a login requirement.
