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

Structure-based deep learning models for protein-ligand binding affinity prediction (PLBAP) are commonly benchmarked using experimentally resolved co-crystal structures, but real use cases often rely on computed inputs (docked or predicted complexes). To quantify this benchmark-to-deployment mismatch, we compared the CASF-2016 performance of five reproducible PLBAP pipelines across crystal structures, GNINA docking into holo/apo/AlphaFold3-predicted receptors, and AlphaFold3 co-folding. Critically, access to an experimentally resolved apo receptor conformer provided only marginal benefit over AlphaFold3-predicted receptor structures. AlphaFold3 co-folding was competitive with, and for some models significantly better than, rigid-receptor docking into the apo conformer (Holm
