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

Crystal chemical rules are widely applied to understand and rationalize inorganic crystal structures. Examples of such include Pauling rules and Beck's extended coordination number rule. For the latter no large-scale benchmark has been performed yet. A rigorous analysis of the validity of the extended coordination number rule was performed on a dataset consisting of 1044 ternary fluorides. 59.9% of the examined crystal structures agree with Beck's rule. An additional 22.3% of structures the deviations can be explained by a more or equally homogenous distribution of charges, thus yielding a total rationalization power of 82.2%. The structural complexity of the crystal structures was identified as a main reason for disagreement with Beck's rule.
