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

In recent years the analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories using dimensionality reduction algorithms has become commonplace. These algorithms seek to find a low-dimensional representation of a trajectory that is, according to a well-defined criterion, optimal. A number of different strategies for generating projections of trajectories have been proposed but little has been done to systematically compare how these various approaches fare when it comes to analysing trajectories for biomolecules in explicit solvent. In the following paper, we have thus analyzed a molecular dynamics trajectory of the C-terminal fragment of the immunoglobulin binding domain B1 of protein G of Streptococcus modeled in explicit solvent using a range of different dimensionality reduction algorithms. We have then tried to systematically compare the projections generated using each of these algorithms by using a clustering algorithm to find the positions and extents of the basins in the high-dimensional energy landscape. We find that no algorithm outshines all the other in terms of the quality of the projection it generates. Instead, all the algorithms do a reasonable job when it comes to building a projection that separates some of the configurations that lie in different basins. Having said that, however, all the algorithms struggle to project the basins because they all have a large intrinsic dimensionality.
