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 "bottom-up" approach to coarse-graining, for building accurate and efficient computational models to simulate large-scale and complex phenomena and processes, is an important approach in computational chemistry, biophysics, and materials science. As one example, the Multiscale Coarse-Graining (MS-CG) approach to developing CG models can be rigorously derived using statistical mechanics applied to fine-grained, i.e., all-atom simulation data for a given system. Under a number of circumstances, a systematic procedure, such as MS-CG modeling, is particularly valuable. Here, we present the development of the OpenMSCG software, a modularized open-source software that provides a collection of successful and widely applied bottom-up CG methods, including Boltzmann Inversion (BI), Force-Matching (FM), Ultra-Coarse-Graining (UCG), Relative Entropy Minimization (REM), Essential Dynamics Coarse-Graining (EDCG), and Heterogeneous Elastic Network Modeling (HeteroENM). OpenMSCG is a high-performance and comprehensive toolset that can be used to derive CG models from large-scale fine-grained simulation data in file formats from common molecular dynamics (MD) software packages, such as GROMACS, LAMMPS, and NAMD. OpenMSCG is modularized in the Python programming framework, which allows users to create and customize modeling "recipes" for reproducible results, thus greatly improving the reliability, reproducibility, and sharing of bottom-up CG models and their applications.
