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

Heteroaryl substituents are important building blocks of functionalized organic compounds in drug discovery, materials science, and catalysis. Quantitative descriptions of steric and electronic properties of heteroaryl substituents are essential in establishing structure-activity relationships and predicting reactivity and properties of heteroaromatic compounds. We introduce HArD, the HeteroAryl Descriptors database, comprising DFT-computed steric and electronic descriptors of >31,500 heteroaryl substituents. The database features heteroaryl substituents comprising 5- and 6-membered rings as well as 5,6- and 6,6-fused ring systems. Different regioisomers and additional substituents on the heteroaromatic ring were included to describe the diverse chemical space of heteroaryl substituents. The database includes 65 descriptors such as buried volume and Sterimol parameters to describe steric effects, atomic charges and HOMO/LUMO coefficients and energies to describe electronic effects, and Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity (HOMA) values describing aromaticity. In addition, we developed Hammett-type heteroaryl substituent constants (σ
