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

Virtual screening through molecular docking represents a fundamental computational methodology extensively employed in the identification of therapeutic compounds for malaria and other parasitic diseases. Although numerous software platforms are available, including AutodockGPU, the command-line interface requirements present significant barriers to non-specialized users, while multi-target screening protocols introduce additional complexity in receptor preparation procedures. To address these limitations, we developed Plasmodocking, a comprehensive web-based platform designed to automate molecular docking simulations against predefined Plasmodium falciparum targets (https://plasmodocking-unir.ecotechamazonia.com.br/). The platform enables users to submit up to 10 molecular structures (.sdf format) for automated AutodockGPU screening against 38 pre-configured parasite targets, facilitating systematic comparison of binding energies with co-crystallized ligands. Developed using Python and Next.js, Plasmodocking accelerates malaria drug discovery by enabling simultaneous multi-target docking simulations within a single experimental framework. The open-source codebase is available at: https://github.com/LABIOQUIM/PlasmoDocking-Client.
