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

PockFlex is a web server designed to analyse pockets across protein structural ensembles and support the reconstruction, characterisation, and prioritisation of recurrent binding site organisations. Applicable to ensembles derived from molecular dynamics simulations, multiple experimental structures, or protein structure predictions, PockFlex detects pockets independently in each conformation, retains those overlapping a user-defined region of interest, and groups them across the ensemble by residue-level similarity. This residue-centred clustering framework identifies recurrent binding site clusters, quantifies residue recurrence and variability, and distinguishes persistent from transient binding site regions across the ensemble. Pocket-level druggability, predicted using the PockDrug workflow, is summarised at the cluster level to support binding site prioritisation under conformational variability while preserving access to individual pocket scores. The web application provides interactive, residue-level insights into pocket organisation, variability, and druggability in structural ensembles. The web server is free and open to all users, without login requirement, at https://pockflex.rpbs.univ-paris-diderot.fr/.
