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

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a massive health crisis worldwide and upended the global economy. However, vaccines and traditional drug discovery for COVID-19 cost too much in terms of time, manpower, and money. Drug repurposing becomes one of the promising treatment strategies amid the COVID-19 crisis. At present, there are no publicly existing databases for experimentally supported human drug-virus interactions, and most existing drug repurposing methods require the rich information, which is not always available, especially for a new virus. In this study, on the one hand, we put size-able efforts to collect drug-virus interaction entries from literature and build the Human Drug Virus Database (HDVD). On the other hand, we propose a new approach, called SCPMF (similarity constrained probabilistic matrix factorization), to identify new drug-virus interactions for drug repurposing. SCPMF is implemented on an adjacency matrix of a heterogeneous drug-virus network, which integrates the known drug-virus interactions, drug chemical structures, and virus genomic sequences. SCPMF projects the drug-virus interactions matrix into two latent feature matrices for the drugs and viruses, which reconstruct the drug-virus interactions matrix when multiplied together, and then introduces the weighted similarity interaction matrix as constraints for drugs and viruses. Benchmarking comparisons on two different datasets demonstrate that SCPMF has reliable prediction performance and outperforms several recent approaches. Moreover, SCPMF-predicted drug candidates of COVID-19 also confirm the accuracy and reliability of SCPMF.
