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

In the context of the SAMPL7 challenge, we computed, employing a non-equilibrium (NE) alchemical technique, the standard binding free energy of two series of host-guest systems, involving as a host the Isaac's TrimerTrip, a Cucurbituril-like open cavitand, and the Gilson's Cyclodextrin derivatives. The adopted NE alchemy combines enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations with driven fast out-of-equilibrium alchemical trajectories to recover the free energy via the Jarzynski and Crooks NE theorems. The GAFF2 non-polarizable force field was used for the parametrization. Performances were acceptable and similar in accuracy to those we submitted for Gibb's Deep Cavity Cavitands in the previous SAMPL6 host-guest challenge, confirming the reliability of the computational approach and exposing, in some cases, some important deficiencies of the GAFF2 non-polarizable force field.
