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

Learning effective molecular feature representation to facilitate molecular property prediction is of great significance for drug discovery. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in pre-training graph neural networks (GNNs) via self-supervised learning techniques to overcome the challenge of data scarcity in molecular property prediction. However, current self-supervised learning-based methods suffer from two main obstacles: the lack of a well-defined self-supervised learning strategy and the limited capacity of GNNs. Here, we propose Knowledge-guided Pre-training of Graph Transformer (KPGT), a self-supervised learning framework to alleviate the aforementioned issues and provide generalizable and robust molecular representations. The KPGT framework integrates a graph transformer specifically designed for molecular graphs and a knowledge-guided pre-training strategy, to fully capture both structural and semantic knowledge of molecules. Through extensive computational tests on 63 datasets, KPGT exhibits superior performance in predicting molecular properties across various domains. Moreover, the practical applicability of KPGT in drug discovery has been validated by identifying potential inhibitors of two antitumor targets: hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). Overall, KPGT can provide a powerful and useful tool for advancing the artificial intelligence (AI)-aided drug discovery process.
