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

Respiratory toxicity is a serious public health concern caused by the adverse effects of drugs or chemicals, so the pharmaceutical and chemical industries demand reliable and precise computational tools to assess the respiratory toxicity of compounds. The purpose of this study is to develop quantitative structure-activity relationship models for a large dataset of chemical compounds associated with respiratory system toxicity. First, several feature selection techniques are explored to find the optimal subset of molecular descriptors for efficient modeling. Then, eight different machine learning algorithms are utilized to construct respiratory toxicity prediction models. The support vector machine classifier outperforms all other optimized models in 10-fold cross-validation. Additionally, it outperforms the prior study by 2% in prediction accuracy and 4% in MCC. The best SVM model achieves a prediction accuracy of 86.2% and a MCC of 0.722 on the test set. The proposed SVM model predictions are explained using the SHapley Additive exPlanations approach, which prioritizes the relevance of key modeling descriptors influencing the prediction of respiratory toxicity. Thus, our proposed model would be incredibly beneficial in the early stages of drug development for predicting and understanding potential respiratory toxic compounds.
