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

This article aims to provide a comprehensive critical, yet readable, review of general interest to the chemistry community on molecular similarity as applied to chemical informatics and predictive modeling with a special focus on read-across (RA) and read-across structure-activity relationships (RASAR). Molecular similarity-based computational tools, such as quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) and RA, are routinely used to fill the data gaps for a wide range of properties including toxicity endpoints for regulatory purposes. This review will explore the background of RA starting from how structural information has been used through to how other similarity contexts such as physicochemical, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) properties, and biological aspects are being characterized. More recent developments of RA's integration with QSAR have resulted in the emergence of novel models such as ToxRead, generalized read-across (GenRA), and quantitative RASAR (q-RASAR). Conventional QSAR techniques have been excluded from this review except where necessary for context.
