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

Gaussian-accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations are an advanced technique that enhances the sampling of configurational space by applying biasing potentials that reduce energy barriers, enabling faster exploration of the free energy landscape. This tutorial demonstrates the application of GaMD to the alanine dipeptide, serving as an accessible model system, and guides users through all GaMD simulation stages: conventional MD, GaMD equilibration, GaMD production, and reweighting. Users will gain practical insights into the preparation of input files, monitoring of GaMD convergence, and analysis of free energy profiles using PyReweighting. We make a particular effort to connect the underlying theory with the GaMD workflow. This tutorial is intended for users with prior molecular dynamics experience, Linux and command-line navigation, and with basic Python knowledge. The step-by-step instructions and accompanying scripts aim to streamline the GaMD workflow, making it accessible for the broader research community to explore enhanced sampling for a range of biomolecular systems.
