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 near-UV absorption spectra of barnase double-point mutants are calculated using a combination of molecular dynamics and ab initio techniques. The atoms of the fluorescent probes are placed in a cloud of point charges, generated by molecular dynamics simulations. Ab initio calculations (CASPT2) are performed on these systems. Three molecular dynamics packages are compared-Amber5.0, CHARMM-c27b1, and GROMOS96-using indole as the fluorescent probe. It was found that calculated absorption spectra reproduce experimental values very well, provided detailed charge cloud descriptions are included. These calculations further sustain the hypothesis that different tryptophan rotamers can be present in proteins. Molecular dynamics calculations of the double-point mutants also point to the structural effect of counter ions.
