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

Design and generation of high-quality target- and scaffold-specific small molecules is an important strategy for the discovery of unique and potent bioactive drug molecules. To achieve this goal, authors have developed the deep-learning molecule generation model (DeepMGM) and applied it for the de novo molecular generation of scaffold-focused small-molecule libraries. In this study, a recurrent neural network (RNN) using long short-term memory (LSTM) units was trained with drug-like molecules to result in a general model (g-DeepMGM). Sampling practices on indole and purine scaffolds illustrate the feasibility of creating scaffold-focused chemical libraries based on machine intelligence. Subsequently, a target-specific model (t-DeepMGM) for cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) was constructed following the transfer learning process of known CB2 ligands. Sampling outcomes can present similar properties to the reported active molecules. Finally, a discriminator was trained and attached to the DeepMGM to result in an in silico molecular design-test circle. Medicinal chemistry synthesis and biological validation was performed to further investigate the generation outcome, showing that XIE9137 was identified as a potential allosteric modulator of CB2. This study demonstrates how recent progress in deep learning intelligence can benefit drug discovery, especially in de novo molecular design and chemical library generation.
