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 progress in solving macromolecular structures and assemblies by cryogenic electron microscopy techniques enables sampling of their conformations in different states that are relevant to their biological function. Knowing the transition path between these conformations would provide new avenues for drug discovery. While the experimental study of transition paths is intrinsically difficult, in-silico methods can be used to generate an initial guess for those paths. The Elastic Network Model (ENM), along with a coarse-grained representation (CG) of the structures are among the most popular models to explore such possible paths. Here we propose an update to our software platform MinActionPath that generates non-linear transition paths based on ENM and CG models, using action minimization to solve the equations of motion. The new website enables the study of large structures such as ribosomes or entire virus envelopes. It provides direct visualization of the trajectories along with quantitative analyses of their behaviors at http://dynstr.pasteur.fr/servers/minactionpath/minactionpath2_submission.
