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

Molecules with conjugated π systems often feature strong electron correlation and therefore require multireference methods for a reliable computational description. A key prerequisite for the successful application of such methods is the choice of a suitable active space. Herein the automated π-orbital space (PiOS) method for selecting active spaces for multireference calculations of conjugated π systems is presented. This approach allows the construction of small but effective active spaces based on Hückel theory. To demonstrate its performance, π → π* excitations for benzene, octatetraene, and free-base porphine are computed. In addition, this technique can be combined with the automated atomic valence active space method to compute excitations in complex systems with multiple conjugated fragments. This combined approach was used to generate two-dimensional potential energy surfaces for multiple electronic states associated with photoinduced electron-coupled double proton transfer in the blue-light-using flavin photoreceptor protein. These types of methods for the automated selection of active space orbitals are important for ensuring consistency and reproducibility of multireference approaches for a wide range of chemical and biological systems.
