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 describe a new analysis tool called Stratified unbinned Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (Stratified-UWHAM), which can be used to compute free energies and expectations from a multicanonical ensemble when a subset of the parallel simulations is far from being equilibrated because of barriers between free energy basins which are only rarely (or never) crossed at some states. The Stratified-UWHAM equations can be obtained in the form of UWHAM equations but with an expanded set of states. We also provide a stochastic solver, Stratified RE-SWHAM, for Stratified-UWHAM to remove its computational bottleneck. Stratified-UWHAM and Stratified RE-SWHAM are applied to study three test topics: the free energy landscape of alanine dipeptide, the binding affinity of a host-guest binding complex, and path sampling for a two-dimensional double well potential. The examples show that when some of the parallel simulations are only locally equilibrated, the estimates of free energies and equilibrium distributions provided by the conventional UWHAM (or MBAR) solutions exhibit considerable biases, but the estimates provided by Stratified-UWHAM and Stratified RE-SWHAM agree with the benchmark very well. Lastly, we discuss features of the Stratified-UWHAM approach which is based on coarse-graining in relation to two other maximum likelihood-based methods which were proposed recently, that also coarse-grain the multicanonical data.
