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 prediction of drug-target affinity (DTA) is a crucial step for drug screening and discovery. In this study, a new graph-based prediction model named SAG-DTA (self-attention graph drug-target affinity) was implemented. Unlike previous graph-based methods, the proposed model utilized self-attention mechanisms on the drug molecular graph to obtain effective representations of drugs for DTA prediction. Features of each atom node in the molecular graph were weighted using an attention score before being aggregated as molecule representation. Various self-attention scoring methods were compared in this study. In addition, two pooing architectures, namely, global and hierarchical architectures, were presented and evaluated on benchmark datasets. Results of comparative experiments on both regression and binary classification tasks showed that SAG-DTA was superior to previous sequence-based or other graph-based methods and exhibited good generalization ability.
