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 nanomechanical characterization of several biological fibrils that are the result of protein aggregation via molecular dynamics simulation is nowadays feasible, and together with atomic force microscopy experiments has widened our understanding of the forces in the regime of pN-nN and system sizes of about hundreds of nanometers. Several methodologies have been developed to achieve this target, and they range from the atomistic representation via molecular force fields to coarse-grained strategies that provide comparable results with experiments in a systematic way. In this chapter, we discuss several methodologies for the calculation of mechanical parameters, such as the elastic constants of relevant biological systems. They are presented together with details about parameterization and current limitations. Then, we discuss some of the applications of such methodologies for the description of bacterial filament and β-amyloid systems. Finally, the latest lines of development are discussed.
