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

Deep learning has revolutionized protein structure prediction, but capturing conformational ensembles remains a challenge. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can describe biomolecular dynamics, but they are computationally expensive. Alternatively, deep learning models trained on MD can generate structural ensembles at reduced cost. We present aSAM (atomistic structural autoencoder model), a latent diffusion model trained on MD to generate heavy atom protein ensembles. aSAM models atoms in a latent space to accurate sample side chain and backbone torsion angle distributions. Additionally, the aSAMt version generates ensembles conditioned on temperature. Trained on mdCATH, aSAMt captures temperature-dependent ensemble properties and demonstrates generalization beyond training temperatures. By comparing aSAMt ensembles to long MD simulations of fast-folding proteins, we find that high-temperature training enhances the ability of generators to explore energy landscapes. aSAMt can also capture experimentally observed thermal behavior of proteins. This work generalizes deep learning ensemble generation towards the inclusion of environmental conditions.
