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

Accurate structural data in a standardized format is one of the key factors behind the success of machine learning (ML)-based methods for protein design and structure prediction. However, their application to nanobody-antigen complexes has lower success rates compared to globular protein complexes, partly due to the limited amount of high-quality structural data. While several dedicated databases already exist, automated assembly pipelines frequently overlook various artifacts, which act as additional noise and limit the effectiveness of ML applications. Common issues include incorrectly defined antigen assemblies, redundancy bias, inclusion of crystal contacts, strained geometry due to crystal packing, as well as missing density or post-translational modifications near the interface. To address these issues, we present Antigen-VHH Interface Database (AVIDbase), a highly curated dataset of nanobody-antigen structures. In addition to correcting structural artifacts, the dataset provides a nonredundant set of structures with standardized chain identifiers, harmonized metadata, and cleaned atomic coordinates in a ready-to-use format for ML applications. AVIDbase is available on GitHub (github.com/Novartis/AVIDbase) and Zenodo (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20488703).
