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

Blue copper proteins continue to challenge experiment and theory with their electronic structure and spectroscopic properties that respond sensitively to the coordination environment of the copper ion. In this work, we report state-of-the art electronic structure studies for geometric and spectroscopic properties of the archetypal "Type I" copper protein azurin in its Cu(II) state. A hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach is used, employing both density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) methods for the QM region, the latter method making use of the domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) approach. Models of increasing QM size are employed to investigate the convergence of critical geometric parameters. It is shown that convergence is slow and that a large QM region is critical for reproducing the short experimental Cu-SCys112 distance. The study of structural convergence is followed by investigation of spectroscopic parameters using both DFT and DLPNO-CC methods and comparing these to the experimental spectrum using simulations. The results allow us to examine for the first time the distribution of spin densities and hyperfine coupling constants at the coupled cluster level, leading us to revisit the experimental assignment of the
