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

Several groups, including our own, have found molecular dynamics (MD) calculations to result in the size of the pore of an outer membrane bacterial porin, OmpF, to be reduced relative to its size in the x-ray crystal structure. At the narrowest portion of its pore, loop L3 was found to move toward the opposite face of the pore, resulting in decreasing the cross-section area by a factor of approximately 2. In an earlier work, we computed the protonation states of titratable residues for this system and obtained values different from those that had been used in previous MD simulations. Here, we show that MD simulations carried out with these recently computed protonation states accurately reproduce the cross-sectional area profile of the channel lumen in agreement with the x-ray structure. Our calculations include the investigation of the effect of assigning different protonation states to the one residue, D(127), whose protonation state could not be modeled in our earlier calculation. We found that both assumptions of charge states for D(127) reproduced the lumen size profile of the x-ray structure. We also found that the charged state of D(127) had a higher degree of hydration and it induced greater mobility of polar side chains in its vicinity, indicating that the apparent polarizability of the D(127) microenvironment is a function of the D(127) protonation state.
