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

The simulation of photoinduced non-adiabatic dynamics is of great relevance in many scientific disciplines, ranging from physics and materials science to chemistry and biology. Upon light irradiation, different relaxation processes take place in which electronic and nuclear motion are intimately coupled. These are best described by the time-dependent molecular Schrödinger equation, but its solution poses fundamental practical challenges to contemporary theoretical chemistry. Two widely used and complementary approaches to this problem are multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) and trajectory surface hopping (SH). MCTDH is an accurate fully quantum-mechanical technique but often is feasible only in reduced dimensionality, in combination with approximate vibronic coupling (VC) Hamiltonians, or both (i.e., reduced-dimensional VC potentials). In contrast, SH is a quantum-classical technique that neglects most nuclear quantum effects but allows nuclear dynamics in full dimensionality by calculating potential energy surfaces on the fly. If nuclear quantum effects do not play a central role and a linear VC (LVC) Hamiltonian is appropriate-e.g., for stiff molecules that generally keep their conformation in the excited state-then it seems advantageous to combine the efficient LVC and SH techniques. In this Account, we describe how surface hopping based on an LVC Hamiltonian (SH/LVC)-as recently implemented in the SHARC surface hopping package-can provide an economical and automated approach to simulate non-adiabatic dynamics. First, we illustrate the potential of SH/LVC in a number of showcases, including intersystem crossing in SO
