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

Herein, the σ-/π-hole chemistry of Co within a biological framework was computationally studied for the first time using Cobalamin (Cbl) as a case study. Starting with a Protein Data Bank (PDB) survey, 111 structures involving Cbl were found, 67 of which presented a noncovalent interaction (NCI) involving the Co atom and either substrate/product molecules, protein residues, or artificial ligands. These data were statistically analyzed to unveil trends regarding the abundance and structural features of the L···Co interaction (L = C, N, and O), and several selected examples were investigated at the BP86-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory. In addition, a computational study revealed the existence of a σ-hole complex involving the 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) group as a stabilizing prestate prior to Co coordination. This finding was further assessed by the identification of several local noncovalent energy minima based on σ-hole interactions using NCH, NH
