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 now well-recognized as drug targets. Identifying drug-interacting residues is valuable for both optimizing compounds and elucidating the mechanism of action. Currently, NMR chemical shift perturbation and all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are the primary tools for this purpose. Here, we present DIRseq, a fast method for predicting drug-interacting residues from the amino-acid sequence. All residues contribute to the propensity of a particular residue to be drug-interacting; the contributing factor of each residue has an amplitude that is determined by its amino-acid type and attenuates with increasing sequence distance from the particular residue. DIRseq predictions match well with drug-interacting residues identified by NMR chemical shift perturbation and other methods, including residues L
