Optical van-der-Waals forces in molecules: from electronic Bethe-Salpeter calculations to the many-body dispersion model.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Molecular forces induced by optical excitations are connected to a wide range of phenomena, from chemical bond dissociation to intricate biological processes that underpin vision. Commonly, the description of optical excitations requires the solution of computationally demanding electronic Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). However, when studying non-covalent interactions in large-scale systems, more efficient methods are desirable. Here we introduce an effective approach based on coupled quantum Drude oscillators (cQDO) as represented by the many-body dispersion model. We find that the cQDO Hamiltonian yields semi-quantitative agreement with BSE calculations and that both attractive and repulsive optical van der Waals (vdW) forces can be induced by light. These optical-vdW interactions dominate over vdW dispersion in the long-distance regime, showing a complexity that grows with system size. Evidence of highly non-local forces in the human formaldehyde dehydrogenase 1MC5 protein suggests the ability to selectively activate collective molecular vibrations by photoabsorption, in agreement with recent experiments.
