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

A microhydration study of sulfur mustard (SM) was carried out using M06-2X, B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, and MP2 levels of theory with the 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set. The changes in energetics, structural parameters and vibrational wavenumbers following the addition of up to three discrete water molecules to SM were analyzed. We observed slight changes in the geometry of SM upon microhydration. The stability of hydrated clusters is due to weak C-H···O-H hydrogen bonds. The free energy change for the formation of the clusters is positive at room temperature and becomes exergonic when the temperature decreases. The infrared stretchings of C-Cl of SM and O-H of water are redshifted upon the addition of water molecules. The findings from this work add to the literature of hydrated SM and can be useful in its detection and subsequent destruction.
