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

Time-resolved Stokes-shift experiments measure the dynamics of biomolecules and of the perturbed solvent near them on subnanosecond time scales, but molecular dynamics simulations are needed to provide a clear interpretation of the results. Here we show that simulations using standard methods quantitatively reproduce the main features of TRSS experiments in DNA and provide a molecular assignment for the dynamics. The simulations reproduce the magnitude and unusual power-law dynamics of the Stokes shift seen in recent experiments [ Andreatta, D., et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 7270 ]. A polarization model is introduced to eliminate cross-correlations between the different components contributing to the signal. Using this model, well-defined contributions of the DNA, water, and counterion to the experimental signal are extracted. Water is found to have the largest contribution and to be responsible for the power-law dynamics. The counterions have a smaller, but non-negligible, contribution with a time constant of 220 ps. The contribution to the signal of the DNA itself is minor and fits a 30 ps stretched exponential. Both time-averaged and dynamic distributions are calculated. They show a small subset of ions with a different coupling but no other evidence of substates or rate heterogeneity.
