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.
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
Hydrogen bonds in molecular crystals are often modeled as double-well potentials, yet direct evidence linking this potential form to vibrational spectroscopic features remains elusive. In this study, we investigate α-glycine, a hydrogen-bonded crystal that exhibits pronounced Raman anomalies without undergoing a structural phase transition. Through temperature- and polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy, supported by isotope substitution and first-principles calculations, we identify two peaks whose behavior violates conventional Raman selection rules. These peaks merge and narrow anomalously with temperature, an effect that cannot be explained by harmonic models or thermal broadening. Simulated spectra based on a weakly evolving asymmetric double-well potential reproduce this merging, indicating that both peaks originate from one double-well potential. Our results establish α-glycine as a model system directly linking microscopic hydrogen-bond potentials to vibrational spectroscopic features.
