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

The molecular representation model is a neural network that converts molecular representations (SMILES, Graph) into feature vectors, and is an essential module applied across a wide range of artificial intelligence-driven drug discovery scenarios. However, current molecular representation models rarely consider the three-dimensional conformational space of molecules, losing sight of the dynamic nature of small molecules as well as the essence of molecular conformational space that covers the heterogeneity of molecule properties, such as the multi-target mechanism of action, recognition of different biomolecules, dynamics in cytoplasm and membrane. In this study, a new model named GeminiMol is proposed to incorporate conformational space profiles into molecular representation learning, which extracts the feature of capturing the complicated interplay between the molecular structure and the conformational space. Although GeminiMol is pre-trained on a relatively small-scale molecular dataset (39290 molecules), it shows balanced and superior performance not only on 67 molecular properties predictions but also on 73 cellular activity predictions and 171 zero-shot tasks (including virtual screening and target identification). By capturing the molecular conformational space profile, the strategy paves the way for rapid exploration of chemical space and facilitates changing paradigms for drug design.
