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

Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) is a strict permeability barrier for maintaining the Central Nervous System (CNS) homeostasis. One of the most important conditions to judge a CNS drug is to figure out whether it has BBB permeability or not. In the past 20 years, the existing prediction approaches are usually based on the data of the physical characteristics and chemical structure of drugs. However, these methods are usually only applicable to small molecule compounds based on passive diffusion through BBB. To deal this problem, one of the most famous methods is multi-core SVM method, which is based on clinical phenotypes about Drug Side Effects and Drug Indications to predict drug penetration of BBB. This paper proposed a Deep Learning method to predict the Blood-Brain-Barrier permeability based on the clinical phenotypes data. The validation result on three datasets proved that Deep Learning method achieves better performance than the other existing methods. The average accuracy of our method reaches 0.97, AUC reaches 0.98, and the F1 score is 0.92. The results proved that Deep Learning methods can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of drug BBB permeability and it can help researchers to reduce clinical trials and find new CNS drugs.
