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

backgroundDue to the recent revolution of artificial intelligence (AI), AI-enabled large language models (LLMs) have flourished and started to be applied in various sectors of science and medicine. Drug discovery and development are time-consuming, complex processes that require high investment. The conventional method of drug discovery is costly and has a high failure rate. AI-enabled LLMs are used in various steps of drug discovery to solve the challenges of time and cost. AIM OF REVIEW: The article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI-enabled LLMs and their use in various steps of drug discovery to ease the challenges. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: The review provides an overview of the LLMs and their current state-of-the-art application in structure-based drug molecule design and de novo drug design. The different applications of AI-enabled LLMshave been illustrated, such as drug target identification, validation, interaction, and ADME/ADMET. Several domain-specific models of LLMs are developed in this direction and applied in drug discovery and development to speed up the process. We discussed all these domain-specific models of LLMs and their applications in this field. Finally, we illustrated the challenges and future perspectives on the applications of AI-enabled LLMs in drug discovery and development.
