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

We investigate intramolecular non-covalent interactions (NCIs) in neutral serine, its zwitterion, molecular clusters, and crystal using electron density-based approaches, including QTAIM, RDG, IQA, and electronic pressure analysis. In addition to completed NCIs (hydrogen bonds with bond paths), we identify latent interactions-attractive, bond-path-free atomic pair interactions with negative interaction energies. These are classified into dynamic (vibration-induced and transient) and static (secondary, persistent but structurally passive) types. Analysis of the internal pressure in electronic continuum reveals that latent NCIs exhibit distinct signatures in the kinetic and exchange components, which evolve across the molecular, cluster, and crystalline states. Dynamic interactions are characterized by off-axis minima in the exchange part of the pressure, whereas static interactions lack such features. Upon crystallization, intramolecular latent NCIs may disappear due to electron density redistribution and the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. These intermolecular contacts may also spatially constrain atoms, suppressing vibrational flexibility and effectively converting dynamic NCIs into static ones. The kinetic pressure highlights regions of electron localization, while the exchange pressure offers a physical criterion for distinguishing different types of NCIs. Our findings demonstrate the structural and stabilizing roles of latent interactions and establish electronic pressure as a sensitive and informative descriptor for their analysis.
