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

Hirshfeld Atom Refinement (HAR) is a quantum crystallographic method for analyzing single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, providing accurate and precise structural parameters. Despite its success in predicting hydrogen-atom parameters, the application of HAR is fundamentally limited to molecular crystals. Inspired by two recently developed HAR versions that employ periodic-boundary conditions, here we introduce a new variant of periodic HAR (pHAR) that is applicable to any periodic-network structure while remaining compatible with conventional HAR by using atom-centered Gaussian orbitals with a Bloch wave formalism. pHAR was tested against high-quality single-crystal diffraction data for boranes and borates comprising N-H and B-H bonds in different chemical environments. The results demonstrate a close agreement of X-H bond lengths with reference data from neutron-diffraction experiments with improved precision. Using pHAR, this study has nearly doubled the previously available body of reliable experimental structural data on B-H bonds.
