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

Machine learning (ML) is becoming a method of choice for modelling complex chemical processes and materials. ML provides a surrogate model trained on a reference dataset that can be used to establish a relationship between a molecular structure and its chemical properties. This Review highlights developments in the use of ML to evaluate chemical properties such as partial atomic charges, dipole moments, spin and electron densities, and chemical bonding, as well as to obtain a reduced quantum-mechanical description. We overview several modern neural network architectures, their predictive capabilities, generality and transferability, and illustrate their applicability to various chemical properties. We emphasize that learned molecular representations resemble quantum-mechanical analogues, demonstrating the ability of the models to capture the underlying physics. We also discuss how ML models can describe non-local quantum effects. Finally, we conclude by compiling a list of available ML toolboxes, summarizing the unresolved challenges and presenting an outlook for future development. The observed trends demonstrate that this field is evolving towards physics-based models augmented by ML, which is accompanied by the development of new methods and the rapid growth of user-friendly ML frameworks for chemistry.
