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

Many molecular systems, including intrinsically disordered proteins and flexible multidomain complexes, exhibit significant conformational heterogeneity and flexibility, making them difficult to study with conventional methods like X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM. To address this challenge, we introduce SimHS-AFMfit-MD, an integrative framework combining high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and AFMfit-based structural modeling to infer dynamic protein conformations at atomic resolution. Using alpha-actinin, an actin cross-linking protein, as a model system, we demonstrate that nonlinear normal-mode analysis (AFMfit-NMA) enhances the accuracy of structural fitting. Additionally, guiding AFMfit with MD trajectories (AFMfit-MD) significantly improves fitting performance, aligning closely with unbiased all-atom MD simulations. This method converts thousands of 3D HS-AFM images into atomic-scale conformational ensembles, revealing key transitions between Ca
