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

Binding affinity prediction (BAP) using protein-ligand complex structures is crucial to computer-aided drug design, but remains a challenging problem. To achieve efficient and accurate BAP, machine-learning scoring functions (SFs) based on a wide range of descriptors have been developed. Among those descriptors, protein-ligand interaction fingerprints (IFPs) are competitive due to their simple representations, elaborate profiles of key interactions and easy collaborations with machine-learning algorithms. In this paper, we have adopted a building-block-based taxonomy to review a broad range of IFP models, and compared representative IFP-based SFs in target-specific and generic scoring tasks. Atom-pair-counts-based and substructure-based IFPs show great potential in these tasks.
