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

Solution pH plays an important role in structure and dynamics of biomolecular systems; however, pH effects cannot be accurately accounted for in conventional molecular dynamics simulations based on fixed protonation states. Continuous constant pH molecular dynamics (CpHMD) based on the λ-dynamics framework calculates protonation states on the fly during dynamical simulation at a specified pH condition. Here we report the CPU-based implementation of the CpHMD method based on the GBNeck2 generalized Born (GB) implicit-solvent model in the pmemd engine of the Amber molecular dynamics package. The performance of the method was tested using pH replica-exchange titration simulations of Asp, Glu and His side chains in 4 miniproteins and 7 enzymes with experimentally known p K
