Accelerating Prediction of Complex Molecular Crystals by Sensible Selection of Asymmetric Units.
Article in Journal of chemical theory and computation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Effective crystal structure prediction (CSP) relies on thorough exploration of potential energy surfaces. For this reason, molecular CSP has historically focused on simple crystals with a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. Increasing the number of molecules in the asymmetric unit increases the degrees of freedom of the crystal structure and the burden on the crystal structure predictor. We mitigate this burden by modifying quasi-random structure searching (QRSS) with "sensible asymmetric units for crystal exploration" (SAUCE). Compared to traditional QRSS implementations, the crystal structures generated by SAUCE are denser, and in a more energetically favorable environment, leading to faster geometry optimizations and more frequent recovery of the low energy minima discovered by traditional QRSS. This will allow for structure predictors to approach more complex molecular materials and to reduce the computational cost of molecular CSP.
