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

Vibrational spectroscopy calculations based on classical molecular dynamics simulations are widely employed in a variety of popular fields, for instance, computational biochemistry and materials science. These calculations commonly rely on the Fourier transform of the velocity autocorrelation function. One major drawback of the method is that calculated spectra are difficult to interpret due to the large number of closely spaced signals. In this paper, we show how theory can help to overcome this issue by means of a time-average technique, and we introduce free software to perform such calculations for anyone who may take advantage of it. The studies presented here involve the classical vibrational spectra of aniline microsolvated by a water molecule and gas-phase deoxyguanosine. The software is made available in the form of a free web-platform, named SEMISOFT (http://semisoft.unimi.it/), whereby, upon upload of the classical trajectory, the user gets the corresponding time-averaged spectrum. Furthermore, since the evaluation of response functions through autocorrelated data is quite a general approach, the web-platform can be directly employed in many other research fields besides chemistry.
