Metadynamics combined with auxiliary density functional and density functional tight-binding methods: alanine dipeptide as a case study.
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Application of ab initio molecular dynamics to study free energy surfaces (FES) is still not commonly performed because of the extensive sampling required. Indeed, it generally necessitates computationally costly simulations of more than several hundreds of picoseconds. To achieve such studies, efficient density functional theory (DFT) formalisms, based on various levels of approximate computational schemes, have been developed, and provide a good alternative to commonly used DFT implementations. We report benchmark results on the conformational change FES of alanine dipeptide obtained with auxiliary density functional theory (ADFT) and second- and third-order density functional tight-binding (DFTB) methods coupled to metadynamics simulations. The influence of an explicit water solvent is also studied with DFTB, which was made possible by its lower computational cost compared to ADFT. Simulations lengths of 2.1 and 15 ns were achieved with ADFT and DFTB, respectively, in a reasonably short computational time. ADFT leads to a free energy difference (ΔF
