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

Though commonly used in drug discovery, alchemical free energy calculations have not been extensively used to explore issues of drug resistance caused by missense mutations to a drug target. Unlike traditional methods, λ-dynamics (λD) can evaluate multiple modifications within a single simulation; however, perturbations on more than one molecule, e.g., in a ligand and receptor, have not been performed previously. In an approach referred to as Multiple Molecule λ-Dynamics (MMλD), simultaneous ligand and protein perturbations are performed in a single simulation to sample a small series of ligands bound to native and T315I mutant Abl kinases, a protein target in chronic myelogenous leukemia associated with drug resistance. MMλD agreement with conventional λD calculations and experiments is high, with mean unsigned errors of 0.21 and 0.94 kcal/mol, respectively. Protein sequence specific ligand conformational sampling is also identified. Collectively, this work demonstrates that MMλD is a valuable tool for drug resistance drug discovery.
