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

The prediction of reaction selectivity is a challenging task for computational chemistry, not only because many molecules adopt multiple conformations but also due to the exponential relationship between effective activation energies and rate constants. To account for molecular flexibility, an increasing number of methods exist that generate conformational ensembles of transition state (TS) structures. Typically, these TS ensembles are Boltzmann weighted and used to compute selectivity assuming Curtin-Hammett conditions. This strategy, however, can lead to erroneous predictions if the appropriate filtering of the conformer ensembles is not conducted. Here, we demonstrate how any possible selectivity can be obtained by processing the same sets of TS ensembles for a model reaction. To address the burdensome filtering task in a consistent and automated way, we introduce
