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

In this study, we extend a previously introduced QM-AI strategy for predicting halogen···π interaction energies from a single aromatic model (representing phenylalanine) to multiple biologically relevant aromatic environments. Herein, neural network models were developed for halogen···π interactions involving phenol, imidazole, and indole, serving as model systems for the aromatic side chain residues of tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan. Large, systematically generated datasets of halobenzene-aromatic system complexes (in total, over 18 million interaction geometries) were evaluated at the MP2/TZVPP level of theory and represented by compact geometric descriptors to train residue-specific neural networks. Across all systems, the models reproduce quantum-mechanical reference energies with high accuracy (R
