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

S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) is involved in many biological processes as cofactor in enzymes transferring its sulfonium methyl group to various substrates. Additionally, it is used as drug and nutritional supplement to reduce the pain in osteoarthritis and against depression. Due to the biological relevance of AdoMet it has been part of various computational simulation studies and will also be in the future. However, to our knowledge no rigorous force field parameter development for its simulation in biological systems has been reported. Here, we use electronic structure calculations combined with molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent to develop force field parameters compatible with the AMBER99 force field. Additionally, we propose new dynamic Hirshfeld-I atomic charges which are derived from the polarized electron density of AdoMet in aqueous solution to describe its electrostatic interactions in biological systems. The validation of the force field parameters and the atomic charges is performed against experimental interproton NOE distances of AdoMet in aqueous solution and crystal structures of AdoMet in the cavity of three representative proteins.
