Probe-Atom Distributions Obtained from Mixed-Solvent Molecular Dynamics Improve the Scoring of Docking Calculations.
Article in Journal of chemical information and modeling, 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
Structure-based virtual screening (VS) is widely used for the computational selection of drug candidates from compound libraries. Protein-ligand docking calculations are often performed as key steps in the early stages of this process. However, current docking calculations have limited accuracy. Thus, improvements are needed to more efficiently identify promising drug candidates. In this study, we performed mixed-solvent molecular dynamics (MSMD) simulations using four types of probe molecules to improve the accuracy of large-scale VS. We proposed a method for the modification of the docking scoring function for five selected atom classifications (XS_types). This approach integrated the grid free energy derived from the relevant atoms across the probe molecules. VS experiments conducted on nine target proteins showed improved accuracy, with the average EF1% increasing from 6.65 to 7.36. Our method may facilitate drug discovery with higher accuracy than that of conventional methods.
