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

For the ground-state properties of gas-phase nanomolecules with multi-reference character, thermally assisted occupation (TAO) density functional theory (DFT) has recently been found to outperform the widely used Kohn-Sham DFT when traditional exchange-correlation energy functionals are employed. Aiming to explore solvation effects on the ground-state properties of nanomolecules with multi-reference character at a minimal computational cost, we combined TAO-DFT with the PCM (polarizable continuum model). In order to show its usefulness, TAO-DFT-based PCM (TAO-PCM) was used to predict the electronic properties of linear acenes in three different solvents (toluene, chlorobenzene, and water). According to TAO-PCM, in the presence of these solvents, the smaller acenes should have nonradical character, and the larger ones should have increasing polyradical character, revealing striking similarities to the past findings in the gas phase.
