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

London dispersion (LD) forces are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology, governing processes such as binding of drugs to protein targets, the formation and stability of reaction intermediates, and the selectivity of enantioselective transformations. Developing an experimental or quantum chemical method to quantify atomic contributions to LD energy could open up new pathways for controlling reaction selectivity and guiding molecular design. Herein, we initially introduce Atomic Decomposition of London Dispersion energy (ADLD), a computational method that provides atomic-level resolution in quantifying LD energy at the "gold standard" level of quantum chemistry. Through a series of case studies, we reveal that LD is highly sensitive to variations in the electronic structure, including spin state, charge, and valence bond resonance effectskey factors often overlooked. Furthermore, we uncover the fundamental origin of the recently proposed
