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

Atom-centered point-charge models are computationally efficient and commonly used electrostatic models to build forcefields used in classical simulations of materials. To assess their performance, we evaluated various atomic charge assignment methods across the following material types: (a) organic molecules, (b) inorganic molecules, (c) heterodiatomic molecules, (d) transition metal complexes, and (e) nanoporous crystals. We compared 12 atomic charge assignment methods for molecular systems and 6 for nanoporous crystals. In this article, we introduce a computationally efficient quadrupole-dipole-resorption (QDR) method that improves the accuracy of stockholder-partitioning models (
