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

motivationWhile traditionally utilized for identifying site-specific metabolic activity within a compound to alter its interaction with a metabolizing enzyme, predicting the site-of-metabolism (SOM) is essential in analyzing the promiscuity of enzymes on substrates. The successful prediction of SOMs and the relevant promiscuous products has a wide range of applications that include creating extended metabolic models (EMMs) that account for enzyme promiscuity and the construction of novel heterologous synthesis pathways. There is therefore a need to develop generalized methods that can predict molecular SOMs for a wide range of metabolizing enzymes.

resultsThis article develops a Graph Neural Network (GNN) model for the classification of an atom (or a bond) being an SOM. Our model, GNN-SOM, is trained on enzymatic interactions, available in the KEGG database, that span all enzyme commission numbers. We demonstrate that GNN-SOM consistently outperforms baseline machine learning models, when trained on all enzymes, on Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, or on non-CYP enzymes. We showcase the utility of GNN-SOM in prioritizing predicted enzymatic products due to enzyme promiscuity for two biological applications: the construction of EMMs and the construction of synthesis pathways. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: A python implementation of the trained SOM predictor model can be found at https://github.com/HassounLab/GNN-SOM. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
