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

Due to its protective properties of biological samples at low temperatures and under desiccation, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in aqueous solutions has been studied widely by many experimental approaches and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the case of the latter, AMBER is among the most commonly used force fields for simulations of biomolecular systems; however, the parameters for DMSO published by Fox and Kollman in 1998 have only been tested for pure liquid DMSO. We have conducted an MD simulation study of DMSO in a water mixture and computed several structural and dynamical properties such as of the mean density, self-diffusion coefficient, hydrogen bonding and DMSO and water ordering. The AMBER force field of DMSO is seen to reproduce well most of the experimental properties of DMSO in water, with the mixture displaying strong and specific water ordering, as observed in experiments and multiple other MD simulations with other non-polarizable force fields. Graphical abstract Hydration structure within hydrogen-bonding distance around a DMSOmolecule.
