Highs and Lows of Bond Lengths: Is There Any Limit?
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Two distinct points on the potential energy curve (PEC) of a pairwise interaction, the zero-energy crossing point and the point where the stretching force constant vanishes, allow us to anticipate the range of possible distances between two atoms in diatomic, molecular moieties and crystalline systems. We show that these bond-stability boundaries are unambiguously defined and correlate with topological descriptors of electron-density-based scalar fields, and can be calculated using generic PECs. Chemical databases and quantum-mechanical calculations are used to analyze a full set of diatomic bonds of atoms from the s-p main block. Emphasis is placed on the effect of substituents in C-C covalent bonds, concluding that distances shorter than 1.14 Å or longer than 2.0 Å are unlikely to be achieved, in agreement with ultra-high-pressure data and transition-state distances, respectively. Presumed exceptions are used to place our model in the correct framework and to formulate a conjecture for chained interactions, which offers an explanation for the multimodal histogram of O-H distances reported for hundreds of chemical systems.
