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

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that contain coordinatively unsaturated open metal sites (OMSs) provide strong host-guest interactions, making them promising sorbents for low-concentration gas adsorption applications such as direct air capture and atmospheric water harvesting. However, accurately modeling host-guest interactions involving OMSs remains challenging for classical force fields (FFs) based on the 12-6 Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential, as the polarization effect of the guest molecule induced by the positively charged OMS is not considered. Here, we introduce an FF based on the 12-6-4 LJ potential, which incorporates charge-induced dipole interactions and is parametrized against a diverse set of host-guest potential energy surfaces (PESs) obtained from density functional theory (DFT). The resulting FF, trained on a generic trimetallic cluster, performs well in both host-guest binding energetics and gas adsorption isotherms across different OMS-containing MOFs, including MOF-74 series and Cu-BTC. These results highlight the excellent transferability of our approach and its potential to enhance the accuracy and robustness of high-throughput MOF discovery workflows, particularly for gas adsorption and separation in large and diverse MOF databases.
