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

motivationMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become routine tools for the study of protein dynamics and function. Thanks to faster GPU-based algorithms, atomistic and coarse-grained simulations are being used to explore biological functions over the microsecond timescale, yielding terabytes of data spanning multiple trajectories, thereby extracting relevant protein conformations without losing important information is often challenging.

resultsWe present MDSubSampler, a Python library and toolkit for a posteriori subsampling of data from multiple trajectories. This toolkit provides access to uniform, random, stratified, weighted sampling, and bootstrapping sampling methods. Sampling can be performed under the constraint of preserving the original distribution of relevant geometrical properties. Possible applications include simulations post-processing, noise reduction, and structures selection for ensemble docking. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: MDSubSampler is freely available at https://github.com/alepandini/MDSubSampler, along with guidance on installation and tutorials on how it can be used.
