RelCalc: symbolic evaluation of BWR theory relaxation rates in python, applications to TROSY effects in AX[Formula: see text] spin systems.
Article in Journal of biomolecular NMR, 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
Relaxation phenomena greatly influence magnetic resonance experiments, from setting repetition rates and measurement times through to measuring internal motion of molecules. RelCalc provides a convenient and efficient means for symbolic and numerical evaluation of relaxation rates using Bloch, Wagness and Redfield (BWR) theory. Users supply interactions within a spin system arranged appropriately in the molecular frame. The effects of optional fluctuations around a symmetry axis, and then under either isotropic or anisotropic global tumbling are then computed. Relaxation rates linking pairs of Liouvillian basis operators are then returned symbolically, formatted as a sum of weighted reduced spectra density functions. Parameters are then supplied to replace symbolic quantities for values for rapid computation of numerical rates. We demonstrate the utility of the software by exploring relaxation interference (TROSY) effects and 'long-lived states' in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems, which, for n=1,2, and 3, describe NH, NH[Formula: see text] and CH[Formula: see text] groups in proteins, and small molecules with n=4,6,8,12 and 20 arranged as platonic solids. The implementation is highly efficient with 65,536 relaxation rates required to perform complete Liouvillian simulation of [Formula: see text] methyl groups rotating about a symmetric axis in the presence of adjacent static 'external' spins being symbolically calculated in a few seconds on a single processor on a 2021 laptop. From this result, a complete set of numerical rates are then computed in under one second. RelCalc is implemented in python and is freely available.
