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 report molecular dynamics simulations of the equilibrium folding/unfolding thermodynamics of an all-atom model of the Trp-cage miniprotein in explicit solvent. Simulations are used to sample the folding/unfolding free energy difference and its derivatives along 2 isochores. We model the DeltaG(u)(P,T) landscape using the simulation data and propose a stability diagram model for Trp-cage. We find the proposed diagram to exhibit features similar to globular proteins with increasing hydrostatic pressure destabilizing the native fold. The observed energy differences DeltaE(u) are roughly linearly temperature-dependent and approach DeltaE(u) = 0 with decreasing temperature, suggesting that the system approached the region of cold denaturation. In the low-temperature denatured state, the native helical secondary structure elements are largely preserved, whereas the protein conformation changes to an "open-clamp" configuration. A tighter packing of water around nonpolar sites, accompanied by an increasing solvent-accessible surface area of the unfolded ensemble, seems to stabilize the unfolded state at elevated pressures.
