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

Most small molecule drugs interact with unintended, often unknown, biological targets and these off-target interactions may lead to both preclinical and clinical toxic events. Undesired off-target interactions are often not detected using current drug discovery assays, such as experimental polypharmacological screens. Thus, improvement in the early identification of off-target interactions represents an opportunity to reduce safety-related attrition rates during preclinical and clinical development. In order to better identify potential off-target interactions that could be linked to predictable safety issues, a novel computational approach to predict safety-relevant interactions currently not covered was designed and evaluated. These analyses, termed Off-Target Safety Assessment (OTSA), cover more than 7,000 targets (~35% of the proteome) and > 2,46,704 preclinical and clinical alerts (as of January 20, 2019). The approach described herein exploits a highly curated training set of >1 million compounds (tracking >20 million compound-structure activity relationship/SAR data points) with known
