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

Accurate calculation of relative tautomer energies in different environments is a prerequisite to many parameters of relevance in drug discovery. This work provides a thorough benchmark of the semiempirical methods AM1, PM3 and GFN2-xTB, the force-field OPLS4, Hartree-Fock and HF-3c, the density functionals PBEh-3c, B97-3c, r2SCAN-3c, PBE, PBE0, TPSS, r2SCAN, ω-B97X-V, M06-2X, B3LYP, B2PLYP, and second-order perturbation theory MP2 versus the gold-standard coupled-cluster DLPNO-CCSD(T) using the def2-QZVPP basis set. The outperforming method identified is M06-2X, whereas r2SCAN-3c is the best-perfoming one in the set of cost-optimized methods. Application of the two methods on a challenging subset from the SAMPL2 challenge provides evidence that deviations from experiment are caused by deficiencies of current continuum solvation methods.
