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

Massive sampling with AlphaFold2 improves protein-protein complex predictions. This has been shown during the last CASP15-CAPRI blind prediction round by the AFsample tool. However, more difficult targets including antibody-antigen binding remain challenging. CAPRI Round 55 consisted of three antibody-antigen targets and one heterotrimer. We used our AlphaFold2-based MassiveFold, running 6 prediction pools, each with their own set of parameters, to produce in total more than 6000 predictions per target. We show here that massive sampling categorically produces acceptable to high quality predictions, however it is clear that the AlphaFold2 confidence score cannot be used to identify the best models in the set. We also show that, contrary to what was done before for CASP15-CAPRI with AFsample, increasing the sampling without activating the dropout provides the best models for most of the targets of Round 55.
