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

To make better use of all kinds of knowledge to predict drug synergy, it is crucial to successfully establish a drug synergy prediction model and leverage the reconstruction of sparse known drug targets. Therefore, we present an in silico method that predicts the synergy scores of drug pairs based on multitask learning (DSML) that could fuse drug targets, protein-protein interactions, anatomical therapeutic chemical codes, a priori knowledge of drug combinations. To simultaneously reconstruct drug-target protein interactions and synergistic drug combinations, DSML benefits indirectly from the associations with relation through proteins. In cross-validation experiments, DSML improved the ability to predict drug synergy. Moreover, the reconstruction of drug-target interactions and the incorporation of multisource knowledge significantly improved drug combination predictions by a large margin. The potential drug combinations predicted by DSML demonstrate its ability to predict drug synergy.
