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

All-atomistic (AA) and coarse-grain (CG) simulations have been successfully applied to investigate a broad range of biomolecular processes. However, the accessible time and length scales of AA simulation are limited and the specific molecular details of CG simulation are simplified. Here, we propose a virtual site (VS) based hybrid scheme that can concurrently couple AA and CG resolutions in a single membrane simulation, mitigating the shortcomings of either representation. With some adjustments to make the AA and CG force fields compatible, we demonstrate that lipid bilayer properties are well kept in our hybrid approach. Our VS hybrid method was also applied to simulate a small lipid vesicle, with the inner leaflet and interior solvent represented in AA, and the outer leaflet together with exterior solvent at the CG level. Our multiscale method opens the way to investigate biomembrane properties at increased computational efficiency, in particular applications involving large solvent filled regions.
