Predicting Pharmacokinetics of Drugs Using Artificial Intelligence Tools: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivePharmacokinetic studies encompass the examination of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of bioactive compounds. The pharmacokinetics of drugs exert a substantial influence on their efficacy and safety. Consequently, the investigation of pharmacokinetics holds great importance. However, laboratory-based assessment necessitates the use of numerous animals, various materials, and significant time. To mitigate these challenges, alternative methods such as artificial intelligence have emerged as a promising approach. This systematic review aims to review existing studies, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence tools in predicting the pharmacokinetics of drugs.
methodsA pre-prepared search strategy based on related keywords was used to search different databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science). The process involved combining articles, eliminating duplicates, and screening articles based on their titles, abstracts, and full text. Articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, the quality of the included articles was assessed using an appraisal tool.
resultsUltimately, 23 relevant articles were included in this study. The clearance parameter received the highest level of investigation, followed by the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) parameter, in pharmacokinetic studies. Among the various models employed in the articles, Random Forest and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) emerged as the most commonly utilized ones. Generalized Linear Models and Elastic Nets (GLMnet) and Random Forest models showed the most performance in predicting clearance.
conclusionOverall, artificial intelligence tools offer a robust, rapid, and precise means of predicting various pharmacokinetic parameters based on a dataset containing information of patients or drugs.
