Leveling the Mountain Range of Excited-State Benchmarking through Multistate Density Functional Theory.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. A, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The performance of multistate density functional theory (MSDFT) with nonorthogonal state interaction (NOSI) is assessed for 100 vertical excitation energies against the theoretical best estimates extracted to the full configuration interaction accuracy on the database developed by Loos et al. in 2018 (Loos2018). Two optimization techniques, namely, block-localized excitation and target state optimization, are examined along with two ways of estimating the transition density functional (TDF) for the correlation energy of the Hamiltonian matrix density functional. The results from the two optimization methods are similar. It was found that MSDFT-NOSI using the spin-multiplet degeneracy constraint for the TDF of spin-coupling interaction, along with the M06-2X functional, yields a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.22 eV, which performs noticeably better than time-dependent density functional theory (DFT) at an RMSE of 0.43 eV using the same functional and basis set on the Loos2018 database. In comparison with wave function theory, NOSI has smaller errors than CIS(D
