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 paper, we present differentiable solvent-accessible surface area (dSASA), an exact geometric method to calculate SASA analytically along with atomic derivatives on GPUs. The atoms in a molecule are first assigned to tetrahedra in groups of four atoms by Delaunay tetrahedralization adapted for efficient GPU implementation, and the SASA values for atoms and molecules are calculated based on the tetrahedralization information and inclusion-exclusion method. The SASA values from the numerical icosahedral-based method can be reproduced with >98% accuracy for both proteins and RNAs. Having been implemented on GPUs and incorporated into AMBER, we can apply dSASA to implicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations with the inclusion of this nonpolar term. The current GPU version of GB/SA simulations has been accelerated up to nearly 20-fold compared to the CPU version, outperforming LCPO, a commonly used, fast algorithm for calculating SASA, as the system size increases. While we focus on the accuracy of the SASA calculations for proteins and nucleic acids, we also demonstrate stable GB/SA MD mini-protein simulations.
