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

We have used steered molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the molecular interactions between four M2 inhibitors (amantadine, rimantadine, and two other amantadine derivatives) and the M2 protein channels of influenza A virus H5N1, including the wild type (WT) and three previously identified drug-resistant variants (G34A, S31N, and V27A). The binding free energies between these four inhibitors and the M2 channel of the WT and the three mutants were also determined by use of the molecular mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann surface area method. Our study provides important insight into binding affinity, including detailed energy components and interactions at the molecular level of four potential inhibitors with the M2 channel of drug-resistant strains; this may assist further experimental study and strategies for rational design of new inhibitors.
