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

backgroundWhile establishing efficacy in translational models and humans through clinically-relevant endpoints for disease is of great interest, assessing the potential toxicity of a putative therapeutic drug is critical. Toxicological assessments in the pre-clinical discovery phase help to avoid future failure in the clinical phases of drug development. Many in vitro assays exist to aid in modular toxicological assessment, such as hepatotoxicity and genotoxicity. While these methods have provided tremendous insight into human toxicity by investigational new drugs, they are expensive, require substantial resources, and do not account for pharmacogenomics as well as critical ADME properties. Computational tools can fill this niche in toxicology if in silico models are accurate in relating drug molecular properties to toxicological endpoints as well as reliable in predicting important drug-target interactions that mediate known adverse events or adverse outcome pathways (AOPs).

methodsWe undertook an unstructured search of multiple bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed literature regarding computational methods in predictive toxicology for in silico drug discovery. As this review paper is meant to serve as a survey of available methods for the interested reader, no focused criteria were applied. Literature chosen was based on the writers' expertise and intent in communicating important aspects of in silico toxicology to the interested reader.

conclusionThis review provides a purview of computational methods of pre-clinical toxicologic assessments for novel small molecule drugs that may be of use for novice and experienced investigators as well as academic and commercial drug discovery entities.
