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

Drug repurposing is a promising approach in the field of drug discovery owing to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Most current drug repurposing models rely on specific datasets for training, which limits their predictive accuracy and scope. The number of both market-approved and experimental drugs is vast, forming an extensive molecular space. Due to limitations in parameter size and data volume, traditional drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction models struggle to generalize well within such a broad space. In contrast, large language models (LLMs), with their vast parameter sizes and extensive training data, demonstrate certain advantages in drug repurposing tasks. In our research, we introduce a novel drug repurposing framework, DrugReAlign, based on LLMs and multi-source prompt techniques, designed to fully exploit the potential of existing drugs efficiently. Leveraging LLMs, the DrugReAlign framework acquires general knowledge about targets and drugs from extensive human knowledge bases, overcoming the data availability limitations of traditional approaches. Furthermore, we collected target summaries and target-drug space interaction data from databases as multi-source prompts, substantially improving LLM performance in drug repurposing. We validated the efficiency and reliability of the proposed framework through molecular docking and DTI datasets. Significantly, our findings suggest a direct correlation between the accuracy of LLMs' target analysis and the quality of prediction outcomes. These findings signify that the proposed framework holds the promise of inaugurating a new paradigm in drug repurposing.
