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

prosECCo75 is an optimized force field effectively incorporating electronic polarization via charge scaling. It aims to enhance the accuracy of nominally nonpolarizable molecular dynamics simulations for interactions in biologically relevant systems involving water, ions, proteins, lipids, and saccharides. Recognizing the inherent limitations of nonpolarizable force fields in precisely modeling electrostatic interactions essential for various biological processes, we mitigate these shortcomings by accounting for electronic polarizability in a physically rigorous mean-field way that does not add to computational costs. With this scaling of (both integer and partial) charges within the CHARMM36 framework, prosECCo75 addresses overbinding artifacts. This improves agreement with experimental ion binding data across a broad spectrum of systems─lipid membranes, proteins (including peptides and amino acids), and saccharides─without compromising their biomolecular structures. prosECCo75 thus emerges as a computationally efficient tool providing enhanced accuracy and broader applicability in simulating the complex interplay of interactions between ions and biomolecules, pivotal for improving our understanding of many biological processes.
