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

purposeTo advance fundamental biological and translational research with the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae through the prediction of novel small molecule growth inhibitors via naïve Bayesian modeling methodology.

methodsInspection and curation of data from the publicly available ChEMBL web site for small molecule growth inhibition data of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae resulted in a training set for the construction of machine learning models. A naïve Bayesian model for bacterial growth inhibition was utilized in a workflow to predict novel antibacterial agents against this bacterium of global health relevance from a commercial library of >10

resultsSpecifically, two small molecules were found that exhibited promising activity profiles and represent novel chemotypes for agents against N. gonorrrhoeae.

conclusionsThis represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first machine learning approach to successfully predict novel growth inhibitors of this bacterium. To assist the chemical tool and drug discovery fields, we have made our curated training set available as part of the Supplementary Material and the Bayesian model is accessible via the web.
