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

Five peptides previously suggested to possess polyproline II (PPII) structure have here been investigated by using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to compare how well four different force fields known for simulating intrinsically disordered proteins relatively well (Amber ff99SB-disp, Amber ff99SB-ILDN, CHARM36IDPSFF, and CHARMM36m) can capture this secondary structure element. The results revealed that all force fields sample PPII structures but to different extents and with different propensities toward other secondary structure elements, in particular, the β-sheet and "random coils". A cluster analysis of the simulations of histatin 5 also revealed that the conformational ensembles of the force fields are quite different. We compared the simulations to circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments and conclude that further experiments and methods for interpreting them are needed to assess the accuracy of force fields in determining PPII structure.
