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

motivationMolecular carcinogenicity is a preventable cause of cancer, but systematically identifying carcinogenic compounds, which involves performing experiments on animal models, is expensive, time consuming and low throughput. As a result, carcinogenicity information is limited and building data-driven models with good prediction accuracy remains a major challenge.

resultsIn this work, we propose CONCERTO, a deep learning model that uses a graph transformer in conjunction with a molecular fingerprint representation for carcinogenicity prediction from molecular structure. Special efforts have been made to overcome the data size constraint, such as multi-round pre-training on related but lower quality mutagenicity data, and transfer learning from a large self-supervised model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model performs well and can generalize to external validation sets. CONCERTO could be useful for guiding future carcinogenicity experiments and provide insight into the molecular basis of carcinogenicity.
