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

A necessary transformation for a sustainable economy is the transition from fossil-derived plastics to polymers derived from biomass and waste resources. While renewable feedstocks can enhance material performance through unique chemical moieties, probing the vast material design space by experiment alone is not practically feasible. Here, we develop a machine-learning-based tool, PolyID, to reduce the design space of renewable feedstocks to enable efficient discovery of performance-advantaged, biobased polymers. PolyID is a multioutput, graph neural network specifically designed to increase accuracy and to enable quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis for polymers. It includes a novel domain-of-validity method that was developed and applied to demonstrate how gaps in training data can be filled to improve accuracy. The model was benchmarked with both a 20% held-out subset of the original training data and 22 experimentally synthesized polymers. A mean absolute error for the glass transition temperatures of 19.8 and 26.4 °C was achieved for the test and experimental data sets, respectively. Predictions were made on polymers composed of monomers from four databases that contain biologically accessible small molecules: MetaCyc, MINEs, KEGG, and BiGG. From 1.4 × 10
