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

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are ubiquitous in biology, yet a comprehensive structural characterization of the PPIs underlying cellular processes is lacking. AlphaFold-Multimer (AF-M) has the potential to fill this knowledge gap, but standard AF-M confidence metrics do not reliably separate relevant PPIs from an abundance of false positive predictions. To address this limitation, we used machine learning on curated datasets to train a structure prediction and omics-informed classifier (SPOC) that effectively separates true and false AF-M predictions of PPIs, including in proteome-wide screens. We applied SPOC to an all-by-all matrix of nearly 300 human genome maintenance proteins, generating ∼40,000 predictions that can be viewed at predictomes.org, where users can also score their own predictions with SPOC. High-confidence PPIs discovered using our approach enable hypothesis generation in genome maintenance. Our results provide a framework for interpreting large-scale AF-M screens and help lay the foundation for a proteome-wide structural interactome.
