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

Understanding the structure, interactions, dynamics, and functions of multimeric protein complexes is essential for studying multimeric protein complexes, with broad implications for disease mechanisms and drug design, and other areas of biomedical research. Although remarkable achievements have been made in monomer prediction in recent years, protein multimers prediction remains a crucial yet challenging area due to their complex structures, diverse physicochemical properties, and limited experimental data. This review encompasses recent advancements in multimer research, providing an overview of classical concepts and methodologies and the key differences from monomer prediction methods. It further explores state-of-the-art advances in CASP16, including predictions of unknown stoichiometries, supercomplexes, conformational ensembles. This review also delves into the contributions of AlphaFold2 & 3 to multimer prediction, highlighting both the successes and limitations, particularly in handling functional protein-protein interactions and dynamical conformations. Recent deep learning methods and their applications in multimer interaction analysis and quality assessment are discussed, along with insights into future research directions, such as improving prediction accuracy, enabling functional interpretation of protein-protein interactions, and reconstructing protein mechanisms.
