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

By using molecular dynamics simulations with an efficient enhanced sampling technique and in combination with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy quantitative structural information on α -2,8-linked sialic acids is presented. We used a bottom-up approach to obtain a set of larger ensembles for tetra- and deca-sialic acid from model dimer and trimer systems that are in agreement with the available J-coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser effects. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulations with enhanced sampling are used to validate the force field used in this study for its further use. This empowered us to couple NMR observables in the MD framework via J-coupling and distance restraining simulations to obtain conformations that are supported by experimental data. We used these conformations in thermodynamic integration and one-step perturbation simulations to calculate the free-energy of suggested helical conformations. This study brings most of the available NMR experiments together and supplies information to resolve the conflict on the structures of poly- α -2,8-linked sialic acid.
