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

The volume of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data shared via public repositories is rapidly increasing; however, fragmentation across multiple independent repositories, each employing distinct dataset identifiers and metadata schemas, hinders the efficient exploration and reuse of these data. In this study, we present GROMACS MetaDump, a tool for automatic annotation of output files from GROMACS MD simulations producing human- and machine-readable metadata leveraging the native GROMACS metadata (gmx dump) output. The tool takes the run input simulation file (.tpr) as the basis for the metadata output, optionally extending it with annotations from topology and structure files (.top, .gro). The tool is available as a web application ( https://gmd.ceitec.cz/ ), API service, and a command-line utility. By automating the metadata extraction process, GROMACS MetaDump aims to simplify and standardise the extraction of rich, structured metadata from GROMACS MD simulations, making it easier to share, discover, and reuse simulation data within the research community. SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTION: This work introduces GROMACS MetaDump, a software tool for the automatic extraction of metadata from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations performed with GROMACS. GROMACS MetaDump captures all extractable simulation parameters, such as software version, force field, water model, box geometry, temperature, etc., and returns them in a structured JSON or YAML file. As a result, GROMACS MetaDump supports the creation of unified metadata annotations of MD simulations, making datasets indexable and findable in line with the FAIR principles.
