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

In recent years, the debate in the field of applications of Deep Learning to Virtual Screening has focused on the use of neural embeddings with respect to classical descriptors in order to encode both structural and physical properties of ligands and/or targets. The attention on embeddings with the increasing use of Graph Neural Networks aimed at overcoming molecular fingerprints that are short range embeddings for atomic neighborhoods. Here, we present EMBER, a novel molecular embedding made by seven molecular fingerprints arranged as different "spectra" to describe the same molecule, and we prove its effectiveness by using deep convolutional architecture that assesses ligands' bioactivity on a data set containing twenty protein kinases with similar binding sites to CDK1. The data set itself is presented, and the architecture is explained in detail along with its training procedure. We report experimental results and an explainability analysis to assess the contribution of each fingerprint to different targets.
