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

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute as much as 30% of the overall proteins targeted by FDA-approved drugs. However, paucity of structural experimental information and low sequence identity between members of the family impair the reliability of traditional docking approaches and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations for in silico pharmacological applications. We present here a dual-resolution approach tailored for such low-resolution models. It couples a hybrid molecular mechanics/coarse-grained (MM/CG) scheme, previously developed by us for GPCR-ligand complexes, with a Hamiltonian-based adaptive resolution scheme (H-AdResS) for the solvent. This dual-resolution approach removes potentially inaccurate atomistic details from the model while building a rigorous statistical ensemble-the grand canonical one-in the high-resolution region. We validate the method on a well-studied GPCR-ligand complex, for which the 3D structure is known, against atomistic simulations. This implementation paves the way for future accurate in silico studies of low-resolution ligand/GPCRs models.
