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

A Java-based platform, MoleGear, is developed for de novo molecular design based on the chemistry development kit (CDK) and other Java packages. MoleGear uses evolutionary algorithm (EA) to explore chemical space, and a suite of fragment-based operators of growing, crossover, and mutation for assembling novel molecules that can be scored by prediction of binding free energy or a weighted-sum multi-objective fitness function. The EA can be conducted in parallel over multiple nodes to support large-scale molecular optimizations. Some complementary utilities such as fragment library design, chemical space analysis, and graphical user interface are also integrated into MoleGear. The candidate molecules as inhibitors for the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) protease were designed by MoleGear, which validates the potential capability for de novo molecular design.
