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

An efficient computational approach for modeling protein electrostatic is developed according to static point-charge model distributions based on the linear-scaling EE-GMFCC (electrostatically embedded generalized molecular fractionation with conjugate caps) quantum mechanical (QM) method. In this approach, the Electrostatic-Potential atomic charges are obtained from ab initio calculation of protein, both polarization and charge transfer effect are taken into consideration. This approach shows a significant improvement in the description of electrostatic potential and solvation energy of proteins comparing with current popular molecular mechanics (MM) force fields. Therefore, it has gorgeous prospect in many applications, including accurate calculations of electric field or vibrational Stark spectroscopy in proteins and predicting protein-ligand binding affinity. It can also be applied in QM/MM calculations or electronic embedding method of ONIOM to provide a better electrostatic environment.
