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

backgroundResearch efforts in the field of descriptive and predictive Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships or Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships produce around one thousand scientific publications annually. All the materials and results are mainly communicated using printed media. The printed media in its present form have obvious limitations when they come to effectively representing mathematical models, including complex and non-linear, and large bodies of associated numerical chemical data. It is not supportive of secondary information extraction or reuse efforts while in silico studies poses additional requirements for accessibility, transparency and reproducibility of the research. This gap can and should be bridged by introducing domain-specific digital data exchange standards and tools. The current publication presents a formal specification of the quantitative structure-activity relationship data organization and archival format called the QSAR DataBank (QsarDB for shorter, or QDB for shortest).

resultsThe article describes QsarDB data schema, which formalizes QSAR concepts (objects and relationships between them) and QsarDB data format, which formalizes their presentation for computer systems. The utility and benefits of QsarDB have been thoroughly tested by solving everyday QSAR and predictive modeling problems, with examples in the field of predictive toxicology, and can be applied for a wide variety of other endpoints. The work is accompanied with open source reference implementation and tools.

conclusionsThe proposed open data, open source, and open standards design is open to public and proprietary extensions on many levels. Selected use cases exemplify the benefits of the proposed QsarDB data format. General ideas for future development are discussed.
