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

The chemical universe database GDB-13, which enumerates 977 million organic molecules up to 13 atoms of C, N, O, S and Cl following simple chemical stability and synthetic feasibility rules, represents a vast reservoir for new fragments. GDB-13 was classified using the MQN-system discussed in the preceding paper for the analysis of PubChem fragments. Two hundred and fifty-five subsets of GDB-13 were generated by the combinatorial use of eight restrictive criteria, including fragment-like ("rule of three") and scaffold-like (no acyclic carbon atoms) filters. Virtual screening for analogs of 15 commercial drugs of 13 non-hydrogen atoms or less shows that retrieving MQN-neighbors of a query molecule from GDB-13 or its subsets provides on average a 38-fold enrichment in structural analogs (Daylight-type substructure fingerprint Tanimoto T (SF) > 0.7), and a 75-fold enrichment in shape-similar analogs (ROCS TanimotoCombo score > 1.4). An MQN-searchable version of GDB-13 is provided at www.gdb.unibe.ch .
