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

Accurate simulation of excited-state bond-rearrangement dynamics remains a major challenge since photoinduced reactions can often involve significant changes in electronic structure along excited-state reaction pathways. Describing such processes requires an electronic structure method that provides balanced descriptions of all electronic states across the nuclear configuration space, while remaining computationally feasible for molecular dynamics. Linearized pair-density functional theory (L-PDFT) provides an efficient multireference framework for excited-state simulations by enabling an accurate multistate treatment of excited-state potential energy surfaces. In this work, we assess the performance of L-PDFT for excited-state bond-rearrangement dynamics using excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) as a stringent benchmark.
