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 dynamics of proteins are crucial for understanding their mechanisms. However, computationally predicting protein dynamic information has proven challenging. Here, we propose a neural network model, RMSF-net, which outperforms previous methods and produces the best results in a large-scale protein dynamics dataset; this model can accurately infer the dynamic information of a protein in only a few seconds. By learning effectively from experimental protein structure data and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data integration, our approach is able to accurately identify the interactive bidirectional constraints and supervision between cryo-EM maps and PDB models in maximizing the dynamic prediction efficacy. Rigorous 5-fold cross-validation on the dataset demonstrates that RMSF-net achieves test correlation coefficients of 0.746 ± 0.127 at the voxel level and 0.765 ± 0.109 at the residue level, showcasing its ability to deliver dynamic predictions closely approximating molecular dynamics simulations. Additionally, it offers real-time dynamic inference with minimal storage overhead on the order of megabytes. RMSF-net is a freely accessible tool and is anticipated to play an essential role in the study of protein dynamics.
