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

In aqueous solution, the ensemble of conformations sampled by peptides and unfolded proteins is largely determined by their interaction with water. It has been a long-standing goal to capture these solute-water energetics accurately and efficiently in calculations. Historically, accessible surface area (ASA) has been used to estimate these energies, but this method breaks down when applied to amphipathic peptides and proteins. Here we introduce a novel method in which hydrophobic ASA is determined after first positioning water oxygens in hydrogen-bonded orientations proximate to all accessible peptide/protein backbone N and O atoms. This conditional hydrophobic accessible surface area is termed CHASA. The CHASA method was validated by predicting the polyproline-II (P(II)) and beta-strand conformational preferences of non-proline residues in the coil library (i.e., non-alpha-helix, non-beta-strand, non-beta-turn library derived from X-ray elucidated structures). Further, the method successfully rationalizes the previously unexplained solvation energies in polyalanyl peptides and compares favorably with published experimentally determined P(II) residue propensities. We dedicate this paper to Frederic M. Richards.
