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

Introduction: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed protein engineering by capturing complex sequence patterns from large datasets, enabling applications such as structure prediction and functional annotation. Finenzyme applies conditional transfer learning to generate biologically plausible enzyme sequences conditioned on Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers. Methods: In this work, we extended Finenzyme with an in silico selection pipeline that first identifies generated sequences most likely to preserve or enhance the functional characteristics of specific EC categories and then evaluates them through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to assess their structural stability and conformational dynamics. Results: MD simulations of 236 Finenzyme-generated enzymes across four EC classes (59 Discussion: By combining conditional pre-trained language model fine-tuning with dynamic structural evaluation, our framework advances beyond static sequence-based predictions to address the structural and functional dimensions of enzyme behavior, key aspects for both biomedical and industrial applications.
