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

This application note presents gmx_ffconv, a command-line tool developed to facilitate the conversion of systems between all-atom force fields within GROMACS. As different force fields use their own naming conventions and atom ordering, force field conversion within GROMACS is usually a time-consuming, error-prone process. gmx_ffconv resolves atom ordering and naming mismatches between different force fields by reordering the coordinate file via molecular graph matching. This enables the use of identical starting coordinates across force fields, facilitating comparative simulations without requiring manual reordering or scripting. The tool has been validated on a broad range of systems, from small, nonstandard ligands to large, solvated heterogeneous systems with more than two million atoms. gmx_ffconv is available on GitHub: github.com/Jassu1998/gmx_ffconv.
