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

Hepatitis C virus helicase is a molecular motor that splits duplex DNA while actively moving over it. An approximate coarse-grained dynamical description of this protein, including its interactions with DNA and ATP, is constructed. Using such a mechanical model, entire operation cycles of an important protein machine could be followed in structurally resolved dynamical simulations. Ratcheting inchworm translocation and spring-loaded DNA unwinding, suggested by experimental data, were reproduced. Thus, feasibility of coarse-grained simulations, bridging a gap between full molecular dynamics and reduced phenomenological theories of molecular motors, has been demonstrated.
