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

Machine learning (ML) systems can model quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) using existing experimental data and make property predictions for new molecules. With the advent of modalities such as targeted protein degraders (TPD), the applicability of QSPR models is questioned and ML usage in TPD-centric projects remains limited. Herein, ML models are developed and evaluated for TPDs' property predictions, including passive permeability, metabolic clearance, cytochrome P450 inhibition, plasma protein binding, and lipophilicity. Interestingly, performance on TPDs is comparable to that of other modalities. Predictions for glues and heterobifunctionals often yield lower and higher errors, respectively. For permeability, CYP3A4 inhibition, and human and rat microsomal clearance, misclassification errors into high and low risk categories are lower than 4% for glues and 15% for heterobifunctionals. For all modalities, misclassification errors range from 0.8% to 8.1%. Investigated transfer learning strategies improve predictions for heterobifunctionals. This is the first comprehensive evaluation of ML for the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) and physicochemical properties of TPD molecules, including heterobifunctional and molecular glue sub-modalities. Taken together, our investigations show that ML-based QSPR models are applicable to TPDs and support ML usage for TPDs' design, to potentially accelerate drug discovery.
