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

summaryLife over the past four billion years has been shaped by proteins and their capacity to assemble into three-dimensional conformations. Protein sequence alignments have been the enabling technology for exploring the evolution and functional adaptation of proteins across the tree of life. Recent advancements in scaling the prediction of three-dimensional protein structures from primary sequence alone, revealed that different modes of conservation and function operate on the sequence and structure level. This difference in protein conservation patterns and their underlying functional change that could emerge in suboptimal alignment configurations is often ignored in optimal protein alignment approaches. We introduce EMERALD-UI, an open-source interactive web application which is designed to reveal unexplored biology by visualising stable structural conformations or protein regions hidden in the alternative alignment space. AVAILABILITY: EMERALD-UI is available at https://algbio.github.io/emerald-ui/. The source code of the version described in this manuscript is available at https://github.com/algbio/emerald-ui and archived at Software Heritage: swh: 1: dir: 8b5a70160396d5e9a2e6d015c3b6f1426176d9a4.
