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

Atomistic simulations of nucleic acids are prohibitively expensive and, consequently, reduced models of these compounds are of great interest in the field. In this work, we propose a physics-based coarse-grained model of nucleic-acid bases in which each base is represented by several (3-5) interaction centers. van der Waals interactions are modeled by Lennard-Jones spheres with a 12-6 potential energy function. The charge distribution is modeled by a set of electric dipole moments located at the centers of the Lennard-Jones spheres. The method for computing the Lennard-Jones parameters, electric dipole moments (their magnitude and orientation) and positions of the interaction centers is described. Several models with different numbers of interaction centers were tested. The model with three-center cytosine, four-center guanine, four-center thymine, and five-center adenine satisfactorily reproduces the canonical Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding and stacking interaction energies of the all-atom AMBER model. The computation time with the coarse-grained model is reduced seven times compared with that of the all-atom model.
