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 atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for imaging structures of molecules bound on surfaces. To gain high-resolution structural information, one often superimposes structure models on the measured images. Motivated by high flexibility of biomolecules, we previously developed a flexible-fitting molecular dynamics (MD) method that allows protein structural changes upon superimposing. Since the AFM image largely depends on the AFM probe tip geometry, the fitting process requires accurate estimation of the parameters related to the tip geometry. Here, we performed a Bayesian statistical inference to estimate a tip radius of the AFM probe from a given AFM image via flexible-fitting molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We first sampled conformations of the nucleosome that fit well the reference AFM image by the flexible-fitting with various tip radii. We then estimated an optimal tip parameter by maximizing the conditional probability density of the AFM image produced from the fitted structure.
