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

We have investigated photoabsorption spectra of bovine rhodopsin and its mutants (E122Q and E113Q) by hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations as well as retinal in vacuo by pure QM calculations, employing multireference (MR) ab initio and TD-B3LYP methods. The sophisticated MR-SORCI+Q and MRCISD+Q methods extrapolated with respect to adopted approximations can reproduce the experimental absorption maxima of retinal very well. The relatively inexpensive MR-DDCI2+Q method gives absorption maxima blue-shifted by ca. 65 nm from experimental values; however, this error is systematic and thus MR-DDCI2+Q can be used to estimate spectral shifts. In MR calculations, the ground-state energy of retinal at B3LYP geometry is significantly lower than that at CASSCF geometry. Therefore, B3LYP geometry is more reliable than CASSCF geometry, which has a blue-shift error as large as 100 nm in the gas phase. The effect of ground-state geometry on the excitation energies is less critical in the polarizing field of protein environments. At the B3LYP geometry, there is no significant charge transfer upon vertical excitation to the S1 excited-state either from Glu1 13 to retinal or from Schiff-base terminal to beta-ionone ring through the polyene chain. All-trans to 11-cis isomerization of retinal in the gas phase has no influence on the calculated S1 absorbing state, in agreement with experiment. The shoulder of the experimental absorption spectrum of retinal in vacuo at the S1 absorbing band appears to be the second electronic transition (S2) in our calculations, contrary to previous tentative assignment to vibrational state of S1 or to the S1 band of a retinal isomer.
