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

motivationAntibody-antigen complex modelling is an important step in computational workflows for therapeutic antibody design. While experimentally determined structures of both antibody and the cognate antigen are often not available, recent advances in machine learning-driven protein modelling have enabled accurate prediction of both antibody and antigen structures. Here, we analyse the ability of protein-protein docking tools to use machine learning generated input structures for information-driven docking.

resultsIn an information-driven scenario, we find that HADDOCK can generate accurate models of antibody-antigen complexes using an ensemble of antibody structures generated by machine learning tools and AlphaFold2 predicted antigen structures. Targeted docking using knowledge of the complementary determining regions on the antibody and some information about the targeted epitope allows the generation of high-quality models of the complex with reduced sampling, resulting in a computationally cheap protocol that outperforms the ZDOCK baseline. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The source code of HADDOCK3 is freely available at github.com/haddocking/haddock3. The code to generate and analyse the data is available at github.com/haddocking/ai-antibodies. The full runs, including docking models from all modules of a workflow have been deposited in our lab collection (data.sbgrid.org/labs/32/1139) at the SBGRID data repository.
