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

We propose the possibility of using vibrational population transfer to enhance the structural markers for protein motifs that occur in two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. We demonstrate the potential of this method by calculating the spectrum of the trpzip2 beta-hairpin peptide, a system that is small enough to allow accurate simulation of its two-dimensional infrared spectra, including vibrational population transfer induced by a fluctuating solvent. The results show that under selected experimental conditions, in particular by using perpendicular polarization and finite waiting times, the cross peaks that constitute the well-known Z-shape marker for beta-sheet structure in two-dimensional spectra are strongly enhanced. This enhancement is shown to result from vibrational population transfer. It should be possible to use the same technique for enhancing cross peaks in other structures and generally improve structure determination by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The simulated population transfer times are in good agreement with those observed in experiments on typical proteins.
