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

The solvation mechanism of an excess electron in liquid water has been extensively investigated, yet significant controversies persist regarding the time scales, dynamics, and precise localization processes of this quantum species. Here, we employ ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the impact of the degree of initial localization of an excess electron on the solvation process in liquid water. We demonstrate that the degree of initial delocalization of the excess electron critically governs its solvation dynamics. Furthermore, we reveal the role of excited-state dynamics in modulating solvation time scales and discuss the heating of the water structure due to the energy released via internal conversion to the electronic ground state. Our results reveal that the way how the electron is injected critically determines its solvation dynamics.
