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

Rapid solvent selection is of great significance in chemistry. However, solubility prediction remains a crucial challenge. This study aimed to develop machine learning models that can accurately predict compound solubility in organic solvents. A dataset containing 5081 experimental temperature and solubility data of compounds in organic solvents was extracted and standardized. Molecular fingerprints were selected to characterize structural features. lightGBM was compared with deep learning and traditional machine learning (PLS, Ridge regression, kNN, DT, ET, RF, SVM) to develop models for predicting solubility in organic solvents at different temperatures. Compared to other models, lightGBM exhibited significantly better overall generalization (logS  ± 0.20). For unseen solutes, our model gave a prediction accuracy (logS  ± 0.59) close to the expected noise level of experimental solubility data. lightGBM revealed the physicochemical relationship between solubility and structural features. Our method enables rapid solvent screening in chemistry and may be applied to solubility prediction in other solvents.
