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

Despite the dramatic increase of global spending on drug discovery and development, the approval rate for new drugs is declining, due chiefly to toxicity and undesirable side effects. Simultaneously, the growth of available biomedical data in the postgenomic era has provided fresh insight into the nature of redundant and compensatory drug-target pathways. This stagnation in drug approval can be overcome by the novel concept of polypharmacology, which is built on the fundamental concept that drugs modulate multiple targets. Polypharmacology can be studied with molecular networks that integrate multidisciplinary concepts including cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and systems biology. In silico techniques such as structure- and ligand-based approaches can be employed to study molecular networks and reduce costs by predicting adverse drug reactions and toxicity in the early stage of drug development. By amalgamating strides in this informatics-driven era, designing polypharmacological drugs with molecular network technology exemplifies the next generation of therapeutics with less of-target properties and toxicity. In this review, we will first describe the challenges in drug discovery, and showcase successes using multitarget drugs toward diseases such as cancer and mood disorders. We will then focus on recent development of in silico polypharmacology predictions. Finally, our technologies in molecular network analysis will be presented.
