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

introductionBBB limits the permeability of external compounds by 98% to maintain and regulate brain homeostasis. Hence, BBB permeability prediction is vital to predict the activity of a drug-like substance.

aimNeuronal disorders have affected more than 15% of the world's population, signifying the importance of continued design and development of drugs that can cross the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB).

objectiveHere, we report about developing BBBper (Blood-Brain Barrier permeability prediction) using machine learning tool.

methodsA supervised machine learning-based online tool, based on physicochemical parameters to predict the BBB permeability of given chemical compounds was developed. The user-end webpage was developed in HTML and linked with back-end server by a python script to run user queries and results.

resultsBBBper uses a random forest algorithm at the back end, showing 97% accuracy on the external dataset, compared to 70-92% accuracy of currently available web-based BBB permeability prediction tools.

conclusionThe BBBper web tool is freely available at http://bbbper.mdu.ac.in.
