Review in Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.

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

Since the deep learning revolution of the early 2010s, significant efforts and billions of dollars have been invested in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to drug discovery and development (AIDD). However, despite high expectations, few AI-discovered or AI-designed drugs have entered human clinical trials, and none have achieved clinical approval. In this perspective, we examine the challenges impeding progress and highlight opportunities to harness AI's potential in transforming drug discovery and development.
