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

Free energy calculations are one of the most useful methods for the study of ion transport mechanisms through confined spaces such as protein ion channels. Their reliability depends on a correctly defined reaction coordinate (RC). A straight line is usually not a proper RC for such complicated processes so in this work a combined metadynamics/umbrella sampling (MTD/US) method is proposed. In the combined method, the ion transport pathway is first identified by the MTD method and then the free energy profile or potential of mean force (PMF) along the path is calculated using umbrella sampling. This combined method avoids the discontinuity problem often associated with normal umbrella sampling calculations that assume a straight line RC and it provides a more physically accurate PMF for such processes. The method is demonstrated for the proton transport process through the protein channel of aquaporin-1.
