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

Deep learning significantly accelerates the drug discovery process, and contributes to global efforts to stop the spread of infectious diseases. Besides enhancing the efficiency of screening of antimicrobial compounds against a broad spectrum of pathogens, deep learning has also the potential to efficiently and reliably identify drug candidates against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Consequently, deep learning has been successfully used for the identification of a number of potential drugs against SARS-CoV-2, including Atazanavir, Remdesivir, Kaletra, Enalaprilat, Venetoclax, Posaconazole, Daclatasvir, Ombitasvir, Toremifene, Niclosamide, Dexamethasone, Indomethacin, Pralatrexate, Azithromycin, Palmatine, and Sauchinone. This mini-review discusses recent advances and future perspectives of deep learning-based SARS-CoV-2 drug discovery.
