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 de novo design of molecular structures using deep learning generative models introduces an encouraging solution to drug discovery in the face of the continuously increased cost of new drug development. From the generation of original texts, images, and videos, to the scratching of novel molecular structures the creativity of deep learning generative models exhibits the height machine intelligence can achieve. The purpose of this paper is to review the latest advances in generative chemistry which relies on generative modeling to expedite the drug discovery process. This review starts with a brief history of artificial intelligence in drug discovery to outline this emerging paradigm. Commonly used chemical databases, molecular representations, and tools in cheminformatics and machine learning are covered as the infrastructure for generative chemistry. The detailed discussions on utilizing cutting-edge generative architectures, including recurrent neural network, variational autoencoder, adversarial autoencoder, and generative adversarial network for compound generation are focused. Challenges and future perspectives follow.
