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

Molecular mechanics/the Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) is a popular method for binding energy estimation. Several programs have been developed for performing MM-PBSA calculations in conjunction with Gromacs, the most popular molecular dynamics (MD) software. However, current programs are limited to Linux-based systems and lack cross-platform usability. To address this, we present s_mmpbsa, a lite and cross-platform MM-PBSA program, to support binding energy calculation on native Windows platforms without a subsystem. By incorporating electrostatic screening and interaction entropy, s_mmpbsa achieves improved binding free energy calculation accuracy, validated on a dataset of HIV-1 protease inhibitor complexes. In addition, s_mmpbsa achieves enhanced performance with g_mmpbsa in the same parameters and conditions. Indeed, s_mmpbsa offers an efficient and practical solution for interaction energy calculation from MD simulations in Gromacs, providing valuable protocols for further molecular design applications such as computational enzyme design and molecular screening.
