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 restrained electrostatic potential (RESP) approach is a highly regarded and widely used method of assigning partial charges to molecules for simulations. RESP uses a quantum-mechanical method that yields fortuitous overpolarization and thereby accounts only approximately for self-polarization of molecules in the condensed phase. Here we present RESP2, a next generation of this approach, where the polarity of the charges is tuned by a parameter, δ, which scales the contributions from gas- and aqueous-phase calculations. When the complete non-bonded force field model, including Lennard-Jones parameters, is optimized to liquid properties, improved accuracy is achieved, even with this reduced set of five Lennard-Jones types. We argue that RESP2 with δ≈0.6 (60% aqueous, 40% gas-phase charges) is an accurate and robust method of generating partial charges, and that a small set of Lennard-Jones types is good starting point for a systematic re-optimization of this important non-bonded term.
