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

The structure of a dendrimer exhibits a large number of internal and superficial cavities, which can be exploited, to capture and deliver small organic molecules, enabling their use in drug delivery. Structure-based modeling and quantum mechanical studies can be used to accurately understand the interactions between functionalized dendrimers and molecules of pharmaceutical and industrial interest. In this study, we implemented a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm to calculate the interaction energy of dendrimer-drug complexes, which can be used for in silico prediction of dendrimer-drug affinity. Initially, a large-scale sampling of different dendrimer-drug conformations was generated using Euler angles. Then, each conformation was distributed on different nodes of a GRID computational system, where its interaction energy was calculated by semiempirical quantum mechanical methods. These energy calculations were performed for four different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, each showing different affinities for the PAMAM-G4 dendrimer. The affinities were also characterized experimentally by using Cooks' kinetic method to calculate PAMAM-drug dissociation constants. The quantitative structure-activity relationship between the interaction energies and dissociation constants showed statistical correlations with r(2) > 0.9.
