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

Virtual screening has significantly improved the success rate of early stage drug discovery. Recent virtual screening methods have improved owing to advances in machine learning and chemical information. Among these advances, the creative extraction of drug features is important for predicting drug-target interaction (DTI), which is a large-scale virtual screening of known drugs. Herein, we report Kullbeck-Leibler divergence (KLD) as a DTI feature and the feature-driven classification model applicable to DTI prediction. For the purpose, E3FP three-dimensional (3D) molecular fingerprints of drugs as a molecular representation allow the computation of 3D similarities between ligands within each target (Q-Q matrix) to identify the uniqueness of pharmacological targets and those between a query and a ligand (Q-L vector) in DTIs. The 3D similarity matrices are transformed into probability density functions via kernel density estimation as a nonparametric estimation. Each density model can exploit the characteristics of each pharmacological target and measure the quasi-distance between the ligands. Furthermore, we developed a random forest model from the KLD feature vectors to successfully predict DTIs for representative 17 targets (mean accuracy: 0.882, out-of-bag score estimate: 0.876, ROC AUC: 0.990). The method is applicable for 2D chemical similarity.
