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

Topical and transdermal drug delivery is an effective, safe, and preferred route of drug administration. As such, skin permeability is one of the critical parameters that should be taken into consideration in the process of drug discovery and development. The ex vivo human skin model is considered as the best surrogate to evaluate in vivo skin permeability. This investigation adopted a novel two-QSAR scheme by collectively incorporating machine learning-based hierarchical support vector regression (HSVR) and classical partial least square (PLS) to predict the skin permeability coefficient and to uncover the intrinsic permeation mechanism, respectively, based on ex vivo excised human skin permeability data compiled from the literature. The derived HSVR model functioned better than PLS as represented by the predictive performance in the training set, test set, and outlier set in addition to various statistical estimations. HSVR also delivered consistent performance upon the application of a mock test, which purposely mimicked the real challenges. PLS, contrarily, uncovered the interpretable relevance between selected descriptors and skin permeability. Thus, the synergy between interpretable PLS and predictive HSVR models can be of great use for facilitating drug discovery and development by predicting skin permeability.
