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

Identifying the binding affinity between a drug and its target is essential in drug discovery and repurposing. Numerous computational approaches have been proposed for understanding these interactions. However, most existing methods only utilize either the molecular structure information of drugs and targets or the interaction information of drug-target bipartite networks. They may fail to combine the molecule-scale and network-scale features to obtain high-quality representations. In this study, we propose CSCo-DTA, a novel cross-scale graph contrastive learning approach for drug-target binding affinity prediction. The proposed model combines features learned from the molecular scale and the network scale to capture information from both local and global perspectives. We conducted experiments on two benchmark datasets, and the proposed model outperformed existing state-of-art methods. The ablation experiment demonstrated the significance and efficacy of multi-scale features and cross-scale contrastive learning modules in improving the prediction performance. Moreover, we applied the CSCo-DTA to predict the novel potential targets for Erlotinib and validated the predicted targets with the molecular docking analysis.
