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

In many experimental investigations of thermodynamic equilibrium or kinetic properties of series of similar reactions it is found that the enthalpies and entropies derived from Van 't Hoff or Arrhenius plots exhibit a strong linear correlation. The origin of this Enthalpy-Entropy compensation, which is strongly related to the coalescence tendency of Van 't Hoff or Arrhenius plots, is not necessarily due to a physical/chemical/biological process. It can also be a merely statistical artefact. A new method, called Combined K-CQF makes it possible both to quantify the degree of coalescence of experimental Van 't Hoff lines and to verify whether or not the Enthalpy-Entropy Compensation is of a statistical origin at a desired confidence level. The method is universal and can handle data sets with any degree of coalescence of Van 't Hoff (or Arrhenius) plots. The new method requires only a standard least square fit of the enthalpyΔH versus entropy ΔS plot to determine the two essential dimensionless parameters K and CQF. The parameter K indicates the position (in inverse temperature) of the coalescence region of Van 't Hoff plots and CQF is a quantitative measure of the smallest spread of the Van 't Hoff plots. The position of the (K, CQF) couple with respect to universal confidence contours determined from a large number of simulations of random Van 't Hoff plots indicates straightforwardly whether or not the ΔH-ΔS compensation is a statistical artefact.
