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

Accurate modeling of the structures of protein-protein complexes and other biomolecular interactions represents a longstanding and important challenge for computational biology. The Critical Assessment of PRedicted Interactions (CAPRI) experiment has served for over two decades as a key means to assess and compare current approaches and methods through blind predictive scenarios, highlighting useful strategies, and new developments. Here we describe the performance of our laboratory's team in recent CAPRI rounds, which included submissions for 10 modeling targets. Our team utilized a range of docking and modeling approaches, including ZDOCK, Rosetta, and ZRANK, to model, refine, and score protein-protein and protein-DNA complexes. For recent targets we utilized adaptations of AlphaFold to generate models, leading to near-native models for an antibody-peptide target, and a highly accurate (but low ranked) model for an antibody-MHC complex. These results underscore the utility of AlphaFold-based protocols for predictive protein complex modeling, including for immune recognition, and highlight considerations regarding the use of AlphaFold confidence metrics in model selection.
