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

Noncovalent interactions, such as halogen bonds (XB), play a crucial role in molecular recognition and drug design, yet halogen···π contacts remain comparatively underexplored. Here, we report a proof-of-concept QM-AI approach that integrates high-level quantum mechanical (QM) calculations with neural networks (NNs) to predict halogen···π interaction energies. Nearly 1.4 million MP2/TZVPP single-point calculations on halobenzene-benzene complexes were carried out to generate exhaustive training data, which were represented by simple geometric descriptors as input features for machine learning. The resulting neural network model is specifically designed to capture σ-hole-driven halogen···π interactions under well-defined geometric constraints. The resulting model reproduced reference interaction energies with excellent accuracy (
