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

The optimization of organic reaction conditions to obtain the target product in high yield is crucial to avoid expensive and time-consuming chemical experiments. Advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled various data-driven approaches to predict suitable chemical reaction conditions. However, for many novel syntheses, the process to determine good reaction conditions is inevitable. Bayesian optimization (BO), an iterative optimization algorithm, demonstrates exceptional performance to identify reagents compared to synthesis experts. However, BO requires several initial randomly selected experimental results (yields) to train a surrogate model (approximately 10 experimental trials). Parts of this process, such as the cold-start problem in recommender systems, are inefficient. Here, we present an efficient optimization algorithm to determine suitable conditions based on BO that is guided by a graph neural network (GNN) trained on a million organic synthesis experiment data. The proposed method determined 8.0 and 8.7% faster high-yield reaction conditions than state-of-the-art algorithms and 50 human experts, respectively. In 22 additional optimization tests, the proposed method needed 4.7 trials on average to find conditions higher than the yield of the conditions recommended by five synthesis experts. The proposed method is considered in a situation of having a reaction dataset for training GNN.
