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

In this review, we outline the current trends in the field of machine learning-driven classification studies related to ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) and toxicity endpoints from the past six years (2015-2021). The study focuses only on classification models with large datasets (i.e. more than a thousand compounds). A comprehensive literature search and meta-analysis was carried out for nine different targets: hERG-mediated cardiotoxicity, blood-brain barrier penetration, permeability glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate/inhibitor, cytochrome P450 enzyme family, acute oral toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, respiratory toxicity and irritation/corrosion. The comparison of the best classification models was targeted to reveal the differences between machine learning algorithms and modeling types, endpoint-specific performances, dataset sizes and the different validation protocols. Based on the evaluation of the data, we can say that tree-based algorithms are (still) dominating the field, with consensus modeling being an increasing trend in drug safety predictions. Although one can already find classification models with great performances to hERG-mediated cardiotoxicity and the isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 enzyme family, these targets are still central to ADMET-related research efforts.
