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 ions play critical roles in chemical, biochemical, and materials systems. The discrete-continuum model has been widely used for modeling metal ions in the aqueous phase due to its excellent balance of accuracy and efficiency. Previously, we demonstrated that a discrete-continuum model combining B3LYP-D3/def2-QZVP for the first solvation shell with the SMD implicit solvent model for outer shells accurately predicts hydration free energies (HFEs) of divalent, trivalent, and tetravalent ions. However, those results relied on single optimized geometries. Here, we extend this approach by incorporating molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to enhance conformational sampling for nine metal ions with charges from +2 to +4: the alkaline earth metal ions (Be
