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

Drug design is a time-consuming and cumbersome process due to the vast search space of drug-like molecules and the difficulty of investigating atomic and electronic interactions. The present paper proposes a computational drug design workflow that combines artificial intelligence (AI) methods, i.e., an evolutionary algorithm and artificial neural network model, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to design and evaluate potential drug candidates. For the purpose of illustration, the proposed workflow was applied to design drug candidates against the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. From the ∼140,000 molecules designed using AI methods, MD analysis identified two molecules as potential drug candidates.
