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

motivationSurface generation and visualization are some of the most important tasks in biomolecular modeling and computation. Eulerian solvent excluded surface (ESES) software provides analytical solvent excluded surface (SES) in the Cartesian grid, which is necessary for simulating many biomolecular electrostatic and ion channel models. However, large biomolecules and/or fine grid resolutions give rise to excessively large memory requirements in ESES construction. We introduce an out-of-core and parallel algorithm to improve the ESES software.

resultsThe present approach drastically improves the spatial and temporal efficiency of ESES. The memory footprint and time complexity are analyzed and empirically verified through extensive tests with a large collection of biomolecule examples. Our results show that our algorithm can successfully reduce memory footprint through a straightforward divide-and-conquer strategy to perform the calculation of arbitrarily large proteins on a typical commodity personal computer. On multi-core computers or clusters, our algorithm can reduce the execution time by parallelizing most of the calculation as disjoint subproblems. Various comparisons with the state-of-the-art Cartesian grid based SES calculation were done to validate the present method and show the improved efficiency. This approach makes ESES a robust software for the construction of analytical solvent excluded surfaces. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: http://weilab.math.msu.edu/ESES.
