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

Within this work, we present the derivation and implementation of analytical gradients for the Gaussian-switching (SwiG) Conductor-like Polarizable Continuum Model (CPCM) with general nuclear coordinate-dependent non-static radii used for the creation of van der Waals-type cavities. This is done using the recently presented dynamic radii adjustment for continuum solvation (Draco) scheme. This allows for efficient geometry optimization and reasonable numerical Hessian calculations. The derived gradient is implemented in ORCA, and therefore is easily applicable. The derivation and implementation is validated by comparing analytical and numerical gradients and testing geometry optimizations on a diverse test set, including small organic compounds, metal-organic complexes, and highly charged species. We additionally test the continuity of the potential energy surface using an example where very strong changes in the radii occur. The computational efficiency of the derived gradient is investigated.
