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

When DFT has been applied to study mechanisms of redox processes a common procedure has been to study the results for many different functionals. For redox reactions involving the first row transition metals, this approach has given very different results for different functionals. The conclusion has been that DFT cannot be used for these reactions. In the meantime, results with strong predictability have been generated, most noteworthy for photosystem II, where all DFT predictions have been verified by experiments performed later. In order to obtain these predictive results using DFT, an alternative, systematic approach has been used, where the key differences between the results for different functionals can be rationalized by using a single parameter, rather than using the very large number of differences in the functionals.
