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

We present mdciao, an open-source command line tool and Python Application-Programming-Interface (API) for easy, one-shot analysis and representation of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data. Building upon the widely used concept of residue-residue contact-frequencies, mdciao offers a wide spectrum of further analysis and representations, enriched with available domain specific annotations. The user-friendly interface offers pre-packaged solutions for non-expert users, while keeping customizability for expert ones. Emphasis has been put into automatically producing annotated, production-ready figures and tables. Furthermore, seamless on-the-fly query and inclusion of domain-specific generic residue numbering for GPCRs, GAIN-domains, G-proteins, and kinases is made possible through online lookups. This allows for easy selection and comparison across different systems, regardless of sequence identity, target residues or domains. Finally, the fully documented Python API allows users to include the basic or advanced mdciao functions in their analysis workflows, and provides numerous examples and Jupyter Notebook Tutorials. The source code is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and hosted on https://github.com/gph82/mdciao, and the documentation, including guides and examples, can be found at https://www.mdciao.org.
