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

We propose a fully-automated composite scheme for the accurate and numerically stable calculation of molecular entropies by efficiently combining density-functional theory (DFT), semi-empirical methods (SQM), and force-field (FF) approximations. The scheme is systematically expandable and can be integrated seamlessly with continuum-solvation models. Anharmonic effects are included through the modified rigid-rotor-harmonic-oscillator (msRRHO) approximation and the Gibbs-Shannon formula for extensive conformer ensembles (CEs), which are generated by a metadynamics search algorithm and are extrapolated to completeness. For the first time, variations of the ro-vibrational entropy over the CE are consistently accounted-for through a Boltzmann-population average. Extensive tests of the protocol with the two standard DFT approaches B97-3c and B3LYP-D3 reveal an unprecedented accuracy with mean deviations <1 cal mol
