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

Recently, concerns have been voiced regarding the validity of the GROMOS force fields, being parametrized using a twin-range cutoff scheme, in which longer ranged nonbonded forces and energies are updated less frequently than shorter ranged ones. Here we demonstrate that the influence of such a scheme on the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties used in the parametrization of the GROMOS force fields is minor. We find root-mean-square differences of maximally 0.5 kJ/mol for the solvation free energy and heat of vaporization and of maximally 0.4% for the density. Slightly larger differences are observed when switching from a group-based to an atom-based cutoff scheme. In cases where the twin-range cutoff scheme does result in minor differences compared to a single-range cutoff these are well within the deviation from the experimentally measured values.
