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

UniProt is a central repository of protein sequences and annotations, with entries being updated several times a year as new sequencing evidence is collected. By contrast, protein structure resources often evolve at a different pace. The AlphaFold database remained unchanged for four years, until September 2025, during which time nearly 3% of the associated sequences underwent revisions in UniProt. In a range of bioinformatics tasks, protein structure data is paired with sequence annotations from UniProt. Mapping annotations to outdated structure files can lead to errors in downstream analysis. While this concern has been addressed for experimental structures, efforts for the modeled structures are lacking. 3DSeqCheck is a lightweight web tool that enables quick comparison of the sequence of modeled and experimental structures to the latest UniProt entries. 3DSeqCheck provides an interactive visual panel of the alignment and the comparison of the residue numbering and can be accessed freely at: https://missense3d.bc.ic.ac.uk/3dseqcheck and https://github.ic.ac.uk/ImperialCollegeLondon/check3Dseq.
