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

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the largest database of experimentally determined protein structures, containing more than 230 000 experimentally determined structures. The chemical reactivity of proteins is based on the electron density distribution, which is usually approximated by partial atomic charges. However, because of the size and high variability, there is not yet a universal and accurate tool for calculating the partial atomic charges of these structures. For this reason, we introduce the web application PDBCharges: a tool for quick calculation of partial atomic charges for protein structures from PDB. The charges are calculated using the recent semi-empirical quantum-mechanical method GFN1-xTB, which reproduces PBE0/TZVP/CM5 charges. The computed partial atomic charges can be downloaded in common data formats or visualized online via the powerful Mol* Viewer. The PDBCharges application is freely available at https://pdbcharges.biodata.ceitec.cz and has no login requirement.
