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

We describe a step-by-step protocol for the computation of absolute dissociation free energy with GROMACS code and PLUMED library, which exploits a combination of advanced sampling techniques and nonequilibrium alchemical methodologies. The computational protocol has been automated through an open source Python middleware (HPC_Drug) which allows one to set up the GROMACS/PLUMED input files for execution on high performing computing facilities. The proposed protocol, by exploiting its inherent parallelism and the power of the GROMACS code on graphical processing units, has the potential to afford accurate and precise estimates of the dissociation constants in drug-receptor systems described at the atomistic level. The procedure has been applied to the calculation of the absolute dissociation free energy of PF-07321332, an oral antiviral proposed by Pfizer, with the main protease (3CL
