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

Matched molecular pairs (MMPs) are nowadays a commonly applied concept in drug design. They are used in many computational tools for structure-activity relationship analysis, biological activity prediction, or optimization of physicochemical properties. However, until now it has not been shown in a rigorous way that MMPs, that is, changing only one substituent between two molecules, can be predicted with higher accuracy and precision in contrast to any other chemical compound pair. It is expected that any model should be able to predict such a defined change with high accuracy and reasonable precision. In this study, we examine the predictability of four classical properties relevant for drug design ranging from simple physicochemical parameters (log
