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

High level ab initio studies demonstrate substantial conformational flexibility of amino groups of nucleic acid bases. This flexibility is important for biological functions of DNA. Existing force field models of molecular mechanics do not describe this phenomenon due to a lack of quantitative experimental data necessary for an adjustment of empirical parameters. We have performed extensive calculations of nucleic acid bases at the MP2/6-31G(d,p) level of ab initio theory for broad set of amino group configurations. Two-dimensional maps of energy and geometrical characteristics as functions of two amino hydrogen torsions have been constructed. We approximate the maps by polynomial expressions, which can be used in molecular mechanics calculations. Detailed considerations of these maps enable us to propose a method for determination of numerical coefficients in the developed formulae using restricted sets of points obtained via higher-level calculations.
