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

PairMap2 is a web application for testing intermediate-molecule insertion in relative binding free energy calculations. Transformations between structurally distant ligands can have insufficient overlap in free-energy space, leading to poor convergence and unreliable predictions. PairMap2 reimplements the PairMap intermediate-insertion workflow as a browser-based tool and supports two-molecule path analysis and multiligand perturbation-map construction. The interface visualizes perturbation networks, generated intermediates, and maximum common substructure-based atom mappings. In nine benchmark cases from the original PairMap study, PairMap2 completed faster in eight cases; for an additional low-similarity transformation (lead optimization mapper (LOMAP) similarity score 0.0111), it achieved an approximately 19.6-fold speedup. PairMap2 enables computational chemists to assess intermediate insertion before free energy perturbation FEB calculations without setting up a local execution environment.
