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

Ligand-based virtual screening (LBVS) can be pivotal for identifying potential drug leads, especially when the target protein's structure is unknown. However, current LBVS methods are limited in their ability to consider the ligand conformational flexibility. This study presents AutoDock-SS (Similarity Searching), which adapts protein-ligand docking for use in LBVS. AutoDock-SS integrates novel ligand-based grid maps and AutoDock-GPU into a novel three-dimensional LBVS workflow. Unlike other approaches based on pregenerated conformer libraries, AutoDock-SS's built-in conformational search optimizes conformations dynamically based on the reference ligand, thus providing a more accurate representation of relevant ligand conformations. AutoDock-SS supports two modes: single and multiple ligand queries, allowing for the seamless consideration of multiple reference ligands. When tested on the Directory of Useful Decoys─Enhanced (DUD-E) data set, AutoDock-SS surpassed alternative 3D LBVS methods, achieving a mean AUROC of 0.775 and an EF
