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

Computation has become an essential tool for understanding and predicting chemical phenomena. However significant access, cost, and technical barriers limited its widespread use in education and research. WebMO is a web-based interface to most popular computational chemistry programs that allows chemistry students, faculty, and researchers to perform calculations and visualize the results using only the web browser on their computer. This lowering of technical and cost barriers has extended access to state-of-the-art computational chemistry throughout educational and research communities. An ACS Symposium invited a broad range of speakers to share their experiences using WebMO to teach chemical concepts, explain experimental results, and enable research projects. The use of WebMO as platform to collaborate in developing and sharing educational and research experiences was discussed. Interconnectivity with other software tools and future directions of WebMO were also explored. This Viewpoint article summarizes the perspectives of 19 speakers on how WebMO has influenced the delivery of computational chemistry within the chemistry community over the past 25 years and offers ideas for future directions.
