Ligand-Induced Electronic Response Enables Predictive QM/MM Simulations.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Predictive modeling of large molecular systems demands methods that combine quantum accuracy with scalability. Although hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations offer such a framework, their predictive power has been limited by the subjective and system-specific definition of the QM region. Here, we present an electronically informed protocol that objectively defines QM regions from ligand-induced orbital shifts and charge-redistribution, extracted in a single semiempirical fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculation. Validated on both zeolite-guest and enzyme-inhibitor complexes, the method achieves chemical accuracy (within ∼1-2 kcal/mol on binding energies) while substantially reducing computational cost at the DFTB level. This cross-domain strategy reframes QM/MM as a transferable design principle, bridging solid-state catalysis and quantum biochemistry, and thereby providing a practical platform for predictive molecular engineering across diverse disciplines.
