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

Hydrogen bonds play important roles in protein folding and protein-ligand interactions, particularly in specific protein-DNA recognition. However, the distributions of hydrogen bonds, especially hydrogen bond energy (HBE) in different types of protein-ligand complexes, is unknown. Here we performed a comparative analysis of hydrogen bonds among three non-redundant datasets of protein-protein, protein-peptide, and protein-DNA complexes. Besides comparing the number of hydrogen bonds in terms of types and locations, we investigated the distributions of HBE. Our results indicate that while there is no significant difference of hydrogen bonds within protein chains among the three types of complexes, interfacial hydrogen bonds are significantly more prevalent in protein-DNA complexes. More importantly, the interfacial hydrogen bonds in protein-DNA complexes displayed a unique energy distribution of strong and weak hydrogen bonds whereas majority of the interfacial hydrogen bonds in protein-protein and protein-peptide complexes are of predominantly high strength with low energy. Moreover, there is a significant difference in the energy distributions of minor groove hydrogen bonds between protein-DNA complexes with different binding specificity. Highly specific protein-DNA complexes contain more strong hydrogen bonds in the minor groove than multi-specific complexes, suggesting important role of minor groove in specific protein-DNA recognition. These results can help better understand protein-DNA interactions and have important implications in improving quality assessments of protein-DNA complex models.
