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 performance of the GROMOS96 parameter set 45A3 developed for aliphatic alkanes is tested on a bilayer of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in water in the liquid-crystalline L(alpha) phase. Variants of the force-field parameter set as well as different sets of simulation conditions or simulation parameter sets are evaluated. In the case of the force-field parameters, the van der Waals constants for the non-bonded interaction of the ester carbonyl carbon and the partial charges and charge group definition of the phosphatidylcholine head group are examined. On the methodological side, different cut-off distances for the non-bonded interactions, use of a reaction-field force due to long-range electrostatic interactions, the frequency of removal of the centre of mass motion and the strength of the coupling of the pressure of the system to the pressure bath are tested. The area per lipid, as a measure of structure, the order parameters of the chain carbons, as a measure of membrane fluidity, and the translational diffusion of the lipids in the plane of the bilayer are calculated and compared with experimental values. An optimal set of simulation parameters for which the GROMOS96 parameter set 45A3 yields a head group area, chain order parameters and a lateral diffusion coefficient in accordance with the experimental data is listed.
