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

purposeThe analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) molecular properties is of relevance to drug design, as they directly influence the drug's effectiveness at its target location. This study concerns their prediction, using explainable Machine Learning (ML) models. The aim of the study is to find which molecular features are relevant to the prediction of the different ADME properties and measure their impact on the predictive model.

methodsThe relative relevance of individual features for ADME activity is gauged by estimating feature importance in ML models' predictions. Feature importance is calculated using feature permutation and the individual impact of features is measured by SHAP additive explanations.

resultsThe study reveals the relevance of specific molecular descriptors for each ADME property and quantifies their impact on the ADME property prediction.

conclusionThe reported research illustrates how explainable ML models can provide detailed insights about the individual contributions of molecular features to the final prediction of an ADME property, as an effort to support experts in the process of drug candidate selection through a better understanding of the impact of molecular features.
