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

All-atom simulations are a powerful approach to study the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. However, sampling the atomic configurations of inhomogeneous membranes can be challenging due to the slow lateral diffusion of the various constituents. To address this issue, a hybrid nonequilibrium molecular dynamics Monte Carlo (neMD/MC) simulation method is proposed in which randomly chosen lipid molecules are swapped to generate configurations that are subsequently accepted or rejected according to a Metropolis criterion based on the alchemical work for the attempted swap calculated via a short trajectory. A dual-topology framework constraining the common atoms of the exchanging molecules yields a good acceptance probability using switching trajectories as short as 10 ps. The performance of the hybrid neMD/MC algorithm and its ability to sample the distribution of lipids near a transmembrane helix carrying a net charge are illustrated for a binary mixture of charged and zwitterionic lipids.
