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

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) has evolved into a fundamental tool in the biological sciences, playing a pivotal role in predicting molecular structures and functions. With broad applications in protein and nucleic acid modeling, MSAs continue to underpin advancements across a range of disciplines. MSAs are not only foundational for traditional sequence comparison techniques but also increasingly important in the context of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven advancements. Recent breakthroughs in AI, particularly in protein and nucleic acid structure prediction, rely heavily on the accuracy and efficiency of MSAs to enhance remote homology detection and guide spatial restraints. This review traces the historical evolution of MSA, highlighting its significance in molecular structure and function prediction. We cover the methodologies used for protein monomers, protein complexes, and RNA, while also exploring emerging AI-based alternatives, such as protein language models, as complementary or replacement approaches to traditional MSAs in application tasks. By discussing the strengths, limitations, and applications of these methods, this review aims to provide researchers with valuable insights into MSA's evolving role, equipping them to make informed decisions in structural prediction research.
