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

CABS-flex is a well-established method for fast protein flexibility simulations, offering an effective balance between computational efficiency and accuracy in modeling protein dynamics. To further enhance its predictive capabilities, we propose incorporating AlphaFold's predicted Local Distance Difference Test (pLDDT) scores into CABS-flex simulations. The pLDDT scores, which reflect the confidence of AlphaFold's structural predictions, were integrated with secondary structure information to refine the restraint schemes used in the simulations. We tested this approach on the ATLAS database, which includes molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nearly 1400 proteins. The results showed improved alignment of flexibility predictions with the MD data compared to previous restraint schemes. The integration of pLDDT scores also offers a new perspective on protein flexibility by incorporating structural confidence into the analysis. This development enhances the utility of CABS-flex for investigating protein dynamics and motion.
