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

Our approach to computational protein design is physics-based. We develop a software called Proteus, allowing both physics-based energy evaluation and sequence-conformation exploration. Unlike knowledge-based models, a physics-based energy function facilitates the consideration of unusual chemical entities, such as novel ligands or transition states. Additionally, the adaptive landscape flattening method allows direct sampling on free energy difference between two states. We show here how these ingredients combined can benefit enzyme design. As an illustration, we revisit the stereospecificity inversion of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. Following a tutorial presentation, we explore various design criteria that can be related to enzyme experimental parameters. Our model is able to retrieve the native sequence when targeting L-tyrosine. Mutations predicted to favor D-tyrosine are proposed.
