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

In this work, we demonstrate that Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) applied to atomic positions in two different states of a biomolecule produces a good reaction coordinate between those two states. Atomic coordinates of a macromolecule are a direct representation of a macromolecular configuration, and yet, they are not used in enhanced sampling studies due to a lack of rotational and translational invariance. We resolve this issue using the technique of our prior work, whereby a molecular configuration is considered a member of an equivalence class in size-and-shape space, which is the set of all configurations that can be translated and rotated to a single point within a reference multivariate Gaussian distribution characterizing a single molecular state. The reaction coordinates produced by LDA applied to positions are shown to be good reaction coordinates both in terms of characterizing the transition between two states of a system within a long molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and also ones that allow us to readily produce free energy estimates along that reaction coordinate using enhanced sampling MD techniques.
