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 report atomically detailed molecular dynamics simulations of the permeation of the lethal factor (LF) N-terminal segment through the anthrax channel. The N-terminal chain is unstructured and leads the permeation process for the LF protein. The simulations were conducted in explicit solvent with milestoning theory, making it possible to extract kinetic information from nanosecond to millisecond time scales. We illustrate that the initial event is strongly influenced by the protonation states of the permeating amino acids. While the N-terminal segment passes easily at high protonation state through the anthrax channel (and the ϕ clamp), the initial permeation represents a critical step, which can be irreversible and establishes a hook in the channel mouth.
