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 ability to predict and understand complex molecular motions occurring over diverse timescales ranging from picoseconds to seconds and even hours in biological systems remains one of the largest challenges to chemical theory. Markov state models (MSMs), which provide a memoryless description of the transitions between different states of a biochemical system, have provided numerous important physically transparent insights into biological function. However, constructing these models often necessitates performing extremely long molecular simulations to converge the rates. Here, we show that by incorporating memory via the time-convolutionless generalized master equation (TCL-GME) one can build a theoretically transparent and physically intuitive memory-enriched model of biochemical processes with up to a three order of magnitude reduction in the simulation data required while also providing a higher temporal resolution. We derive the conditions under which the TCL-GME provides a more efficient means to capture slow dynamics than MSMs and rigorously prove when the two provide equally valid and efficient descriptions of the slow configurational dynamics. We further introduce a simple averaging procedure that enables our TCL-GME approach to quickly converge and accurately predict long-time dynamics even when parameterized with noisy reference data arising from short trajectories. We illustrate the advantages of the TCL-GME using alanine dipeptide, the human argonaute complex, and FiP35 WW domain.
