Review in Journal of medicinal chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 44 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 discovery, a multifaceted process from compound identification to regulatory approval, historically plagued by inefficiencies and time lags due to limited data utilization, now faces urgent demands for accelerated lead compound identification. Innovations in biological data and computational chemistry have spurred a shift from trial-and-error methods to holistic approaches to medicinal chemistry. Computational techniques, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), notably machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), have revolutionized drug development, enhancing data analysis and predictive modeling. Natural products (NPs) have long served as rich sources of biologically active compounds, with many successful drugs originating from them. Advances in information science expanded NP-related databases, enabling deeper exploration with AI. Integrating AI into NP drug discovery promises accelerated discoveries, leveraging AI's analytical prowess, including generative AI for data synthesis. This perspective illuminates AI's current landscape in NP drug discovery, addressing strengths, limitations, and future trajectories to advance this vital research domain.
