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 aim of molecular coarse-graining approaches is to recover relevant physical properties of the molecular system via a lower-resolution model that can be more efficiently simulated. Ideally, the lower resolution still accounts for the degrees of freedom necessary to recover the correct physical behavior. The selection of these degrees of freedom has often relied on the scientist's chemical and physical intuition. In this article, we make the argument that in soft matter contexts desirable coarse-grained models accurately reproduce the long-time dynamics of a system by correctly capturing the rare-event transitions. We propose a bottom-up coarse-graining scheme that correctly preserves the relevant slow degrees of freedom, and we test this idea for three systems of increasing complexity. We show that in contrast to this method existing coarse-graining schemes such as those from information theory or structure-based approaches are not able to recapitulate the slow time scales of the system.
