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

The thermodynamics of free radical scavenge of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives towards oxygen-centred free radicals were investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) method in the gas phase and aqueous solution. Three mechanisms of free radical scavenge namely, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT) and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) were considered. The antioxidant descriptors that characterize these mechanisms such as, bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), adiabatic ionization potential (AIP), proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE), proton affinity (PA) and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE) were evaluated. The sequence of electron donation as predicted by the HOMO results were in good agreement with the sequence of ETE for the considered molecules at their favoured sites of free radical scavenge. The reaction Gibbs free energy for inactivation of the selected peroxyl radicals, show that 1,3,4-oxadiazole antioxidants are more efficient radical scavengers by HAT and SPLET mechanisms than SET-PT mechanism in vacuum. In aqueous solution, the SET-PT mechanism was observed to be the dominant reaction pathway.
