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

Artificial neural networks are universal function approximators and have shown great ability in computing the ground-state energy of the electronic Schrödinger equation, yet have not established themselves as a practical and accurate approach for solving the vibrational Schrödinger equation for realistic polyatomic molecules. Here, we propose an efficient neural-network approach for solving the vibrational Schrödinger equation and provide a detailed illustration using the methane molecule. To demonstrate the power of the proposed method, we then apply it to propane, an 11-atom molecule with 27 vibrational degrees of freedom. Using a neural network with fewer than 15,000 parameters, we obtain the ground-state energy within 1 cm
