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

backgroundExperimental verification of a drug discovery process is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, recently, the demand to more efficiently and effectively identify drug-target interactions (DTIs) has intensified.

resultsWe treat the prediction of DTIs as a ranking problem and propose a neural network architecture, NeuRank, to address it. Also, we assume that similar drug compounds are likely to interact with similar target proteins. Thus, in our model, we add drug and target similarities, which are very effective at improving the prediction of DTIs. Then, we develop NeuRank from a point-wise to a pair-wise, and further to list-wise model.

conclusionFinally, results from extensive experiments on five public data sets (DrugBank, Enzymes, Ion Channels, G-Protein-Coupled Receptors, and Nuclear Receptors) show that, in identifying DTIs, our models achieve better performance than other state-of-the-art methods.
