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

Delivery of compounds to the brain is critical for the development of effective treatment therapies of multiple central nervous system diseases. Recently a novel insect-based brain uptake model was published utilizing a locust brain ex vivo system. The goal of our study was to develop a priori, in silico cheminformatic models to describe brain uptake in this insect model, as well as evaluate the predictive ability. The machine learning program Orange® was used to evaluate several machine learning (ML) models on a published data set of 25 known drugs, with in vitro data generated by a single laboratory group to reduce inherent inter-laboratory variability. The ML models included in this study were linear regression (LR), support vector machines (SVN), k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and neural nets (NN). The quantitative structure-property relationship models were able to correlate experimental logCtot (concentration of compound in brain) and predicted brain uptake of r
