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

Poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) is an attractive therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Machine-learning scoring functions constitute a promising approach to discovering novel PARP1 inhibitors. Cutting-edge PARP1-specific machine-learning scoring functions were investigated using semi-synthetic training data from docking activity-labelled molecules: known PARP1 inhibitors, hard-to-discriminate decoys property-matched to them with generative graph neural networks and confirmed inactives. We further made test sets harder by including only molecules dissimilar to those in the training set. Comprehensive analysis of these datasets using five supervised learning algorithms, and protein-ligand fingerprints extracted from docking poses and ligand only features revealed one highly predictive scoring function. This is the PARP1-specific support vector machine-based regressor, when employing PLEC fingerprints, which achieved a high Normalized Enrichment Factor at the top 1% on the hardest test set (NEF1% = 0.588, median of 10 repetitions), and was more predictive than any other investigated scoring function, especially the classical scoring function employed as baseline.
