Review in Briefings in bioinformatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

In clinical treatment, two or more drugs (i.e. drug combination) are simultaneously or successively used for therapy with the purpose of primarily enhancing the therapeutic efficacy or reducing drug side effects. However, inappropriate drug combination may not only fail to improve efficacy, but even lead to adverse reactions. Therefore, according to the basic principle of improving the efficacy and/or reducing adverse reactions, we should study drug-drug interactions (DDIs) comprehensively and thoroughly so as to reasonably use drug combination. In this review, we first introduced the basic conception and classification of DDIs. Further, some important publicly available databases and web servers about experimentally verified or predicted DDIs were briefly described. As an effective auxiliary tool, computational models for predicting DDIs can not only save the cost of biological experiments, but also provide relevant guidance for combination therapy to some extent. Therefore, we summarized three types of prediction models (including traditional machine learning-based models, deep learning-based models and score function-based models) proposed during recent years and discussed the advantages as well as limitations of them. Besides, we pointed out the problems that need to be solved in the future research of DDIs prediction and provided corresponding suggestions.
