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 this paper, we compute, by means of a non equilibrium alchemical technique, the water-octanol partition coefficients (LogP) for a series of drug-like compounds in the context of the SAMPL6 challenge initiative. Our blind predictions are based on three of the most popular non-polarizable force fields, CGenFF, GAFF2, and OPLS-AA and are critically compared to other MD-based predictions produced using free energy perturbation or thermodynamic integration approaches with stratification. The proposed non-equilibrium method emerges has a reliable tool for LogP prediction, systematically being among the top performing submissions in all force field classes for at least two among the various indicators such as the Pearson or the Kendall correlation coefficients or the mean unsigned error. Contrarily to the widespread equilibrium approaches, that yielded apparently very disparate results in the SAMPL6 challenge, all our independent prediction sets, irrespective of the adopted force field and of the adopted estimate (unidirectional or bidirectional) are, mutually, from moderately to strongly correlated.
