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

The improvements of the force fields and the more accurate treatment of long-range interactions are providing more reliable molecular dynamics simulations of nucleic acids. The abilities of certain nucleic acid force fields to represent the structural and conformational properties of nucleic acids in solution are compared. The force fields are AMBER 4.1, BMS, CHARMM22, and CHARMM27; the comparison of the latter two is the primary focus of this paper. The performance of each force field is evaluated first on its ability to reproduce the B-DNA decamer d(CGATTAATCG)(2) in solution with simulations in which the long-range electrostatics were treated by the particle mesh Ewald method; the crystal structure determined by Quintana et al. (1992) is used as the starting point for all simulations. A detailed analysis of the structural and solvation properties shows how well the different force fields can reproduce sequence-specific features. The results are compared with data from experimental and previous theoretical studies.
