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

Incorporating atomistic and molecular information into models of cellular behaviour is challenging because of a vast separation of spatial and temporal scales between processes happening at the atomic and cellular levels. Multiscale or multi-resolution methodologies address this difficulty by using molecular dynamics (MD) and coarse-grained models in different parts of the cell. Their applicability depends on the accuracy and properties of the coarse-grained model which approximates the detailed MD description. A family of stochastic coarse-grained (SCG) models, written as relatively low-dimensional systems of nonlinear stochastic differential equations, is presented. The nonlinear SCG model incorporates the non-Gaussian force distribution which is observed in MD simulations and which cannot be described by linear models. It is shown that the nonlinearities can be chosen in such a way that they do not complicate parametrization of the SCG description by detailed MD simulations. The solution of the SCG model is found in terms of gamma functions.
