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

Structure-based drug design (SBDD) targeting nucleic acid macromolecules, particularly RNA, is a gaining momentum research direction that already resulted in several FDA-approved compounds. Similar to proteins, one of the critical components in SBDD for RNA is the correct identification of the binding sites for putative drug candidates. RNAs share a common structural organization that, together with the dynamic nature of these molecules, makes it challenging to recognize binding sites for small molecules. Moreover, there is a need for structure-based approaches, as sequence information only does not consider conformation plasticity of nucleic acid macromolecules. Deep learning holds a great promise to resolve binding site detection problem, but requires a large amount of structural data, which is very limited for nucleic acids, compared to proteins. In this study we composed a set of ∼2000 nucleic acid-small molecule structures comprising ∼2500 binding sites, which is ∼40-times larger than previously used one, and demonstrated the first structure-based deep learning approach, BiteNet
