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

Water plays a fundamental role in the structure and function of proteins and other biomolecules. The thermodynamic profile of water molecules surrounding a protein is critical for ligand recognition and binding. Therefore, identifying the location and thermodynamic properties of relevant water molecules is important for generating and optimizing lead compounds for affinity and selectivity for a given target. Computational methods have been developed to identify these hydration sites (HS), but are largely limited to simplified models that fail to capture multibody interactions or dynamics-based methods that rely on extensive sampling. Here, we present a method for fast and accurate localization and thermodynamic profiling of HS for protein structures. The method is based on a geometric deep neural network trained on a large, novel data set of explicit water molecular dynamics simulations. We confirm the accuracy and robustness of our model on experimental data and demonstrate its utility on several case studies.
