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

Similar structures having similar activities is a dogma for identifying new functional molecules. However, it is not rare that a minor structural change can cause a significant activity change. Methods to measure the molecular similarity can be classified into two categories of overall three-dimensional shape based methods and local substructure based methods. The former states the relation between overall similarity and activity, and is represented by conventional similarity algorithms. The latter states the relation between local substructure and activity, and is represented by conventional substructure match algorithms. Practically, the similarity of two molecules with similar activity depends on the contributions from both overall similarity and local substructure match. We report a new tool termed as a local-weighted structural alignment (LSA) tool for pharmaceutical virtual screening, which computes the similarity of two molecular structures by considering the contributions of both overall similarity and local substructure match. LSA consists of three steps: (1) mapping a common substructure between two molecular topological structures; (2) superimposing two three-dimensional molecular structures with substructure focus; (3) computing the similarity score based on superimposing. LSA has been validated with 102 testing compound libraries from DUD-E collection with the average AUC (the area under a receiver-operating characteristic curve) value of 0.82 and an average EF
