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

A polarizable force field of saturated phosphatidylcholine-containing lipids based on the classical Drude oscillator model is optimized and used in molecular dynamics simulations of bilayer and monolayer membranes. The hierarchical parametrization strategy involves the optimization of parameters for small molecules representative of lipid functional groups, followed by their application in larger model compounds and full lipids. The polar headgroup is based on molecular ions tetramethyl ammonium and dimethyl phosphate, the esterified glycerol backbone is based on methyl acetate, and the aliphatic lipid hydrocarbon tails are based on linear alkanes. Parameters, optimized to best represent a collection of gas and liquid properties for these compounds, are assembled into a complete model of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipids that is tested against the experimental properties of bilayer and monolayer membranes. The polarizable model yields average structural properties that are in broad accord with experimental data. The area per lipid of the model is 60 Å(2), slightly smaller than the experimental value of 63 Å(2). The order parameters from nuclear magnetic resonance deuterium quadrupolar splitting measures, the electron density profile, and the monolayer dipole potential are in reasonable agreement with experimental data, and with the nonpolarizable CHARMM C36 lipid force field.
