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 present the reservoir pH replica exchange (R-pH-REM) method for constant pH simulations. The R-pH-REM method consists of a two-step procedure; the first step involves generation of one or more reservoirs of conformations. Each reservoir is obtained from a standard or enhanced molecular dynamics simulation with a constrained (fixed) protonation state. In the second step, fixed charge constraints are relaxed, as the structures from one or more reservoirs are periodically injected into a constant pH or a pH-replica exchange (pH-REM) simulation. The benefit of this two-step process is that the computationally intensive part of conformational search can be decoupled from constant pH simulations, and various techniques for enhanced conformational sampling can be applied without the need to integrate such techniques into the pH-REM framework. Simulations on blocked Lys, KK, and KAAE peptides were used to demonstrate an agreement between pH-REM and R-pH-REM simulations. While the reservoir simulations are not needed for these small test systems, the real need arises in cases when ionizable molecules can sample two or more conformations separated by a large energy barrier, such that adequate sampling is not achieved on a time scale of standard constant pH simulations. Such problems might be encountered in protein systems that exploit conformational transitions for function. A hypothetical case is studied, a small molecule with a large torsional barrier; while results of pH-REM simulations depend on the starting structure, R-pH-REM calculations on this model system are in excellent agreement with a theoretical model.
