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

Finding low-energy molecular conformers is challenging due to the high dimensionality of the search space and the computational cost of accurate quantum chemical methods for determining conformer structures and energies. Here, we combine active-learning Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithms with quantum chemistry methods to address this challenge. Using cysteine as an example, we show that our procedure is both efficient and accurate. After only 1000 single-point calculations and approximately 80 structure relaxations, which is less than 10% computational cost of the current fastest method, we have found the low-energy conformers in good agreement with experimental measurements and reference calculations. To test the transferability of our method, we also repeated the conformer search of serine, tryptophan, and aspartic acid. The results agree well with previous conformer search studies.
