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

Collagenous protein domains, characterized by the XYGly sequence repeat motif, trimerize and fibrilize to serve as the molecular skeleton of extracellular matrices, and their mutations are frequently associated with disease. Because of experimental challenges in studying the effect of mutations on the properties of collagen, accurate atomistic molecular dynamics simulations are an invaluable tool. We evaluate the accuracy of state-of-the-art molecular dynamics force fields using recent experiments on model peptide homotrimers composed of proline-4(R)-hydroxyproline-glycine (POG) repeats: the stabilizing POG motif appears with high frequency in several types of collagen. POG repeats are used as templates to explore the role of amino acid substitutions in modulating collagen structure. We have compared the structure and dynamics of collagen POG
