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

A discrete multistate kinetic model for water-wire proton transport is constructed and analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. In the model, each water molecule can be in one of three states: oxygen lone-pairs pointing leftward, pointing rightward, or protonated (H(3)O(+)). Specific rules for transitions among these states are defined as protons hop across successive water oxygens. Our model also includes water-channel interactions that preferentially align the water dipoles, nearest-neighbor dipolar coupling interactions, and Coulombic repulsion. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations were performed and the observed qualitative physical behaviors discussed. We find the parameters that allow the model to exhibit superlinear and sublinear current-voltage relationships, and show why alignment fields, whether generated by interactions with the pore interior or by membrane potentials, always decrease the proton current. The simulations also reveal a "lubrication" mechanism that suppresses water dipole interactions when the channel is multiply occupied by protons. This effect can account for an observed sublinear-to-superlinear transition in the current-voltage relationship.
