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

Atomistic simulations are a powerful tool for studying the dynamics of molecules, proteins, and materials on wide time and length scales. Their reliability and predictive power depend directly on the accuracy of the underlying potential energy surface (PES). This work introduces KerNN, a combined kernel- and neural network-based approach to represent molecular PESs. Compared to state-of-the-art neural network PESs, the number of learnable parameters of KerNN is significantly reduced. This speeds up training and evaluation times by several orders of magnitude, while retaining high prediction accuracy. Importantly, using kernels as the features also improves the extrapolation capabilities of KerNN far beyond the coverage provided by the training data, which solves a fundamental problem of neural-network-based PESs. KerNN applied to spectroscopy and reaction dynamics shows excellent performance on observables, including vibrational bands computed from classical and quantum simulations.
