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

Long-range interactions are relevant in the physical description of materials, even for those where other stronger bonds give the leading contributions. In this work, we demonstrate this assertion by simulating the infrared and Raman spectra of aragonite, an important calcium carbonate polymorph (space group Pmcn) in geological, biological and materials science fields. To this aim, we used Density Functional Theory methods and two corrections to include long-range interactions (DFT-D2 and DFT-D3). The results were correlated to IR spectroscopy and confocal Raman spectrometry data, finding a very good agreement between theory and experiments. Furthermore, the evolution of the IR/Raman modes up to 25 GPa was described in terms of mode-Grüneisen's parameters, which are useful for geological and materials science applications of aragonite. Our findings clearly show that weak interactions are of utmost importance when modelling minerals and materials, even when they are not the predominant forces.
