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

Studying noncanonical intermolecular interactions between a ligand and a protein constitutes an emerging research field. Identifying synthetically accessible molecular fragments that can engage in intermolecular interactions is a key objective in this area. Here, it is shown that so-called "π-hole interactions" are present between the nitro moiety in nitro aromatic ligands and lone pairs within protein structures (water and protein carbonyls and sulfurs). Ample structural evidence was found in a PDB analysis and computations reveal interaction energies of about -5 kcal mol
