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

We describe a method for modeling chemical mutagenicity in terms of simple rules based on molecular features. A classification model was built using a rule-based ensemble method called RuleFit, developed by Friedman and Popescu. We show how performance compares favorably against literature methods. Performance was measured through the use of cross-validation and testing on external test sets. All data sets used are publicly available. The method automatically generated transparent rules in terms of molecular structure that agree well with known toxicology. While we have focused on chemical mutagenicity in demonstrating this method, we anticipate that it may be more generally useful in modeling other molecular properties such as other types of chemical toxicity.
