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

Knowledge of protein-ligand binding sites (LBSs) is crucial for advancing our understanding of biology and developing practical applications in fields such as medicine or biotechnology. PrankWeb is a web server that allows users to predict LBSs from a given three-dimensional structure. It provides access to P2Rank, a state-of-the-art machine learning tool for binding site prediction. Here, we present a new version of PrankWeb enabling the development of both client- and server-side modules acting as postprocessing tasks on the predicted pockets. Furthermore, each module can be associated with a visualization module that acts on the results provided by both client- and server-side modules. This newly developed system was utilized to implement the ability to dock user-provided molecules into the predicted pockets using AutoDock Vina (server-side module) and to interactively visualize the predicted poses (visualization module). In addition to introducing a modular architecture, we revamped PrankWeb's interface to better support the modules and enhance user interaction between the 1D and 3D viewers. We introduced a new, faster P2Rank backend or user-friendly exports, including ChimeraX visualization.
