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

We present the methods and results of our protein complex and RNA structure predictions at CASP16. Our approach integrated multiple state-of-the-art deep learning models with a consensus-based scoring method. To enhance the depth of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), we employed a large metagenomic sequence database. Model ranking was performed with a state-of-the-art consensus ranking method, to which we added more scoring terms. These predictions were further refined manually based on literature evidence. For RNA, we adopted an ensemble approach that incorporated multiple state-of-the-art methods, centered around our NuFold framework. As a result, our KiharaLab group ranked first in protein complex prediction and third in RNA structure prediction. A detailed analysis of targets that significantly differed from those of other groups highlighted both the strengths of our MSA and scoring strategies, as well as areas requiring further improvement.
