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

Herein we present the algorithm and performance assessment of our newly developed conformer generator iCon that was implemented in LigandScout 4.0. Two data sets of high-quality X-ray structures of drug-like small molecules originating from the Protein Data Bank (200 ligands) and the Cambridge Structural Database (481 molecules) were used to validate iCon's performance in the reproduction of experimental conformations. OpenEye's conformer generator OMEGA was subjected to the same evaluation and served as a reference software in this analysis. We tested several setting patterns in order to identify the most suitable and efficient ones for conformational sampling with iCon; equivalent settings were also tested on OMEGA in order to compare the results obtained from the two programs and better assess iCon's performance. Overall, this study proved that iCon is able to generate reliable representative conformational ensembles of drug-like small molecules, yielding results comparable to those showed by OMEGA, and thus is ready to serve as a valuable tool for computer-aided drug design.
