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

Understanding the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of candidate drugs is crucial for their success. One key aspect is the characterization of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties, which require early assessment in the drug discovery and development process. This study aims to present an innovative approach for predicting ADMET properties using attention-based graph neural networks (GNNs). The model utilizes a graph-based representation of molecules directly derived from Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILE) notation. Information is processed sequentially, from substructures to the whole molecule, employing a bottom-up approach. The developed GNN is tested and compared with existing approaches using six benchmark datasets and by encompassing regression (lipophilicity and aqueous solubility) and classification (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibition) tasks. Results show the effectiveness of our model, which bypasses the computationally expensive retrieval and selection of molecular descriptors. This approach provides a valuable tool for high-throughput screening, facilitating early assessment of ADMET properties and enhancing the likelihood of drug success in the development pipeline.
