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

Foldamers present a particularly difficult challenge for accurate computational design compared to the case for conventional peptide and protein design due to the lack of a large body of structural data to allow parametrization of rotamer libraries and energies. We therefore explored the use of molecular mechanics for constructing rotamer libraries for non-natural foldamer backbones. We first evaluated the accuracy of molecular mechanics (MM) for the prediction of rotamer probability distributions in the crystal structures of proteins is explored. The van der Waals radius, dielectric constant and effective Boltzmann temperature were systematically varied to maximize agreement with experimental data. Boltzmann-weighted probabilities from these molecular mechanics energies compare well with database-derived probabilities for both an idealized alpha-helix (R = 0.95) as well as beta-strand conformations (R = 0.92). Based on these parameters, de novo rotamer probabilities for secondary structures of peptides built from beta-amino acids were determined. To limit computational complexity, it is useful to establish a residue-specific criterion for excluding rare, high-energy rotamers from the library. This is accomplished by including only those rotamers with probability greater than a given threshold (e.g., 10%) of the random value, defined as 1/n where n is the number of potential rotamers for each residue type.
