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

Aqueous N-methylacetamide solutions were investigated by polarization-resolved pump-probe and 2D infrared spectroscopy (2D IR), using the amide I mode as a reporter. The 2D IR results are compared with molecular dynamics simulations and spectral calculations to gain insight into the molecular structures in the mixture. N-Methylacetamide and water molecules tend to form clusters with "frozen" amide I dynamics. This is driven by a hydrophobic collapse as the methyl groups of the N-methylacetamide molecules cluster in the presence of water. Since the studied system can be considered as a simplified model for the backbone of proteins, the present study forms a convenient basis for understanding the structural and vibrational dynamics in proteins. It is particularly interesting to find out that a hydrophobic collapse as the one driving protein folding is observed in such a simple system.
