Theoretical study of the dimerization of aqueous beryllium cations.
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2015. 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
The dimerization of monomeric beryllium species was studied via density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the influences of deprotonation and substitution with various halide anions on the polymerization were explored. The results indicate that the dimerization was accomplished by aggregation followed by a nucleophilic attack reaction, and the hydrolysis that provides the nucleophilic hydroxyl group is a prerequisite for polymerization. An activation energy of 49.7 kJ mol(-1) and an aggregation energy of -52.2 kJ mol(-1) were found for the formation of Be2(OH)(H2O)6 (3+), indicating a exothermic reaction. Deprotonation promotes aggregation and increases the energy barrier to activation. Replacing a bound water with an F(-) anion makes aggregation more thermodynamically favorable, but it does not significantly change the energy barrier. It was concluded that the charge and electronegativity of the anion are crucial influences on the energy of the activation barrier, whereas the aggregation energy is influenced not only by the charge but also by the symmetry of the bridging structure in the aggregate.
