Weighted Ensemble Simulations With the Drude Polarizable Model.
Article in Journal of computational chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Enhanced sampling methods have become powerful techniques to investigate complex systems and rare molecular events by facilitating greater access to configurational space. In parallel, the continuous development of polarizable force fields augments such techniques, allowing the investigation of the role of electronic polarization in transitional barriers that might be overlooked in nonpolarizable simulations. Together, improved sampling methods and polarizable force fields should accelerate computational discoveries. Here, we present an implementation of a weighted ensemble strategy for the Drude polarizable force field using the WESTPA software package in conjunction with the OpenMM simulation engine. We demonstrate its use for backbone conformational sampling in a model system (alanine dipeptide) and in studying functional sidechain rotations in an enzyme (Abl1 kinase). We further discuss possible consequences related to the inclusion of explicit electronic polarization in the model. This software implementation and validation should facilitate the use of WESTPA-Drude strategies throughout the simulation community.
