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

The molecular dynamics (MD) method is a promising approach for investigating the molecular mechanisms of microscopic phenomena. In particular, generalized ensemble MD methods can efficiently explore the conformational space with a rugged free-energy surface. However, the implementation and acquisition of technical knowledge for each generalized ensemble MD method are not straightforward for end-users. Here, we present a new version of the myPresto/omegagene software, which is an MD simulation engine tailored for a series of generalized ensemble methods, which are virtual-system coupled multicanonical MD (V-McMD), virtual-system coupled adaptive umbrella sampling (V-AUS), and virtual-system coupled canonical MD (VcMD). This program has been applied in several studies analyzing free-energy landscapes of a variety of molecular systems with all-atom simulations. The updated version provides new functionality for coarse-grained simulations powered by the hydrophobicity scale method. The software package includes a step-by-step tutorial document for enhanced conformational sampling of the poly-glutamine (poly-Q) oligomer expressed as a one-bead per residue model.
