BioForge: a fast and safe macromolecular structure preparation library in Rust.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
summaryBioForge is the first macromolecular structure preparation library for Rust, complementing sequence-analysis libraries such as Rust-Bio with cleaning, geometry-based missing-atom repair, protonation, and solvation as a force-field-agnostic preprocessing stage. Across 22 structures (1439-3 819 839 atoms) on a single CPU core, BioForge scales linearly in wall time (fitted N0.89) versus super-linear N1.17 for PDBFixer and N1.25 for PDB2PQR, completing the 3.8M-atom 9MJN in 5.1 s at 1.1 GB peak (PDBFixer: error, 273 GB); PDB2PQR is limited to fewer than 100 000 atoms. BioForge also compiles to WebAssembly for browser deployment and supports direct embedding into simulation and parameterization pipelines via its application programming interface. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: An MIT-licensed Rust library crate (bio-forge) and a WebAssembly package (bio-forge-wasm) extend the Rust bioinformatics ecosystem with structure preparation, both published on https://crates.io and NPM respectively; the same WebAssembly binary powers a client-side web application at https://bio-forge.app that runs entirely in the browser without a server or data upload. Source code and precompiled command-line binaries are freely available at https://github.com/TKanX/bio-forge; an archival snapshot of the version used for all reported experiments is deposited at Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21627953).
