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 surface area of a molecule, an inherent geometric property of its structure, plays important roles in its solvation and functioning. Here we present an accurate and robust program, sesA, for the analytic computation of solvent-excluded surface (SES) areas. The accuracy and robustness are achieved through the analytic computations of all the solvent-accessible surface (SAS) regions for a surface atom and probe-probe intersections. The detailed comparisons of the areas for a large set of protein structures by sesA and msms, a de-facto standard for analytic SAS and SES computations, confirm sesA's accuracy to a good extent and in the same time reveal significant differences between them. The unprecedented accuracy and robustness of sesA make it possible to analyze in great detail the surface areas of any molecules in general and biomolecules in particular.
