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

Current drug development is still costly and slow given tremendous technological advancements in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Using machine learning (ML) to virtually screen compound libraries promises to fix this for generating drug leads more efficiently and accurately. Herein, we explain the broad basics and integration of both virtual screening (VS) and ML. We then discuss artificial neural networks (ANNs) and their usage for VS. The ANN is emerging as the dominant classifier for ML in general, and has proven its utility for both structure-based and ligand-based VS. Techniques such as dropout, multitask learning and convolution improve the performance of ANNs and enable them to take on chemical meaning when learning about the drug-target-binding activity of compounds.
