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

Chain-of-state methods are becoming important tools in studying the chemical reaction mechanisms, especially for biomacromolecules. In this article, three chain-of-state methods, nudged elastic band (NEB) method and the replica path method with restraints or constraints, were tested and compared using three model systems with various sizes and at different levels of theory: alanine dipeptide isomerization, β-alanine intramolecular condensation, and the matrix metalloproteinase 2 inhibition mechanism. The levels of theory used to describe the three model systems include molecular mechanics (MM), quantum mechanics (QM), and combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM). All three methods could correctly determine a reaction path with reasonable estimation of reaction barriers in most cases. The RMSD measurement with additional weighting schemes provides practically infinite choices of reaction coordinates to describe the reaction progress. These findings demonstrate that the chain-of-state methods are powerful tools when being used carefully to generate a plausible reaction mechanism with full pathway for complex systems at an affordable computational cost.
