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

abstractCollective variable-based enhanced sampling methods have been widely used to study thermodynamic properties of complex systems. Efficiency and accuracy of these enhanced sampling methods are affected by two factors: constructing appropriate collective variables for enhanced sampling and generating accurate free energy surfaces. Recently, many machine learning techniques have been developed to improve the quality of collective variables and the accuracy of free energy surfaces. Although machine learning has achieved great successes in improving enhanced sampling methods, there are still many challenges and open questions. In this perspective, we shall review recent developments on integrating machine learning techniques and collective variable-based enhanced sampling approaches. We also discuss challenges and future research directions including generating kinetic information, exploring high-dimensional free energy surfaces, and efficiently sampling all-atom configurations.
