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

Temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) is a widely used enhanced sampling method for accelerating biomolecular simulations. During the past 2 decades, several variants of REMD have been developed to further improve the rate of conformational sampling of REMD. One such variant, reservoir REMD (RREMD), was shown to improve the rate of conformational sampling by around 5-20×. Despite the significant increase in the sampling speed, RREMD methods have not been widely used because of the difficulties in building the reservoir and also because of the code not being available on the graphics processing units (GPUs). In this work, we ported the Amber RREMD code onto GPUs making it 20× faster than the central processing unit code. Then, we explored protocols for building Boltzmann-weighted reservoirs as well as non-Boltzmann reservoirs and tested how each choice affects the accuracy of the resulting RREMD simulations. We show that, using the recommended protocols outlined here, RREMD simulations can accurately reproduce Boltzmann-weighted ensembles obtained by much more expensive conventional temperature-based REMD simulations, with at least 15× faster convergence rates even for larger proteins (>50 amino acids) compared to conventional REMD.
