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

High-quality protein structures are essential for a wide range of computational chemistry applications. While experimental methods and predictive algorithms provide high-accuracy positions of protein residues relative to one another, the local quality of these structures, including bond lengths, angles, and individual atom positions, often lacks the same level of precision. To address this, we developed PROPTIMUS LIVE, a web application offering local constrained α-carbon optimization of protein structures. PROPTIMUS LIVE is powered by the QM-accurate, physics-based GFN-Force-Field and accelerated using a divide-and-conquer approach, allowing typical optimizations to finish within minutes. Optimized structures can be visualized and investigated directly via the integrated Mol* Viewer. The service is freely available at https://proptimus.ceitec.cz/live with no login required, including for commercial use.
