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

PLATO (Polypharmacology pLATform predictiOn) is an easy-to-use drug discovery web platform, which has been designed with a two-fold objective: to fish putative protein drug targets and to compute bioactivity values of small molecules. Predictions are based on the similarity principle, through a reverse ligand-based screening, based on a collection of 632,119 compounds known to be experimentally active on 6004 protein targets. An efficient backend implementation allows to speed-up the process that returns results for query in less than 20 s. The graphical user interface is intuitive to give practitioners easy input and transparent output, which is available as a standard report in portable document format. PLATO has been validated on thousands of external data, with performances better than those of other parallel approaches. PLATO is available free of charge (http://plato.uniba.it/ accessed on 13 April 2022).
