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 splitting or commitment probabilities of states in the region of configuration space that separates reactants and products play an important role in the theory of chemical reactions. Assuming that the splitting probability changes more slowly than any other coordinate, we project multidimensional diffusive dynamics onto it. The resulting one-dimensional diffusion equation is not exact because the assumed separation of time scales does not hold in general. Nevertheless, this equation has the remarkable property that it always predicts the exact value of the number of transitions between reactants and products per unit time at equilibrium and hence the exact reaction rate. In the special case of two deep basins separated by a harmonic saddle, this equation is equivalent to the one that describes diffusion along a coordinate perpendicular to the transition state, defined as the surface starting from which reactants and products are reached with equal probability.
