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

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are implicated in many human diseases and are increasingly being pursued as drug targets. Conventional structure-based drug design methods that rely on well-defined binding sites are, however, largely unsuitable for IDPs. Here, we present computationally efficient ensemble docking approaches to predict the relative affinities of small molecules to IDPs and characterize their dynamic, heterogeneous binding mechanisms at atomic resolution. We show that these ensemble docking protocols accurately predict the relative binding affinities of three small molecule α-synuclein ligands measured by NMR spectroscopy and generate conformational ensembles of ligand binding modes in remarkable agreement with experimentally validated long-time scale molecular dynamics simulations of ligand binding. Our results demonstrate the potential of ensemble docking approaches for predicting small molecule binding to IDPs and suggest that these methods may be valuable tools for IDP drug discovery campaigns.
