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

Using normalizing flows and reweighting, Boltzmann generators enable equilibrium sampling from a Boltzmann distribution, defined by an energy function and thermodynamic state. In this work, we introduce thermodynamic interpolation (TI), which allows for generating sampling statistics in a temperature-controllable way. We introduce TI flavors that work directly in the ambient configurational space, mapping between different thermodynamic states or through a latent, normally distributed reference state. Our ambient-space approach allows for the specification of arbitrary target temperatures, ensuring generalizability within the temperature range of the training set and demonstrating the potential for extrapolation beyond it. We validate the effectiveness of TI on model systems that exhibit metastability and nontrivial temperature dependencies. Finally, we demonstrate how to combine TI-based sampling to estimate free energy differences through various free energy perturbation methods and provide corresponding approximated kinetic rates, estimated through generator extended dynamic mode decomposition (gEDMD).
