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

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to an rush to repurpose existing drugs, although the underlying evidence base is of variable quality. Drug repurposing is a technique by taking advantage of existing known drugs or drug combinations to be explored in an unexpected medical scenario. Drug repurposing, hence, plays a vital role in accelerating the pre-clinical process of designing novel drugs by saving time and cost compared to the traditional de novo drug discovery processes. Since drug repurposing depends on massive observed data from existing drugs and diseases, the tremendous growth of publicly available large-scale machine learning methods supplies the state-of-the-art application of data science to signaling disease, medicine, therapeutics, and identifying targets with the least error. In this article, we introduce guidelines on strategies and options of utilizing machine learning approaches for accelerating drug repurposing. We discuss how to employ machine learning methods in studying precision medicine, and as an instance, how machine learning approaches can accelerate COVID-19 drug repurposing by developing Chinese traditional medicine therapy. This article provides a strong reasonableness for employing machine learning methods for drug repurposing, including during fighting for COVID-19 pandemic.
