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

DELs enable efficient experimental screening of vast combinatorial libraries, offering a powerful platform for drug discovery. Apart from ensuring the druglike physicochemical properties, other key parameters to maximize the success rate of DEL designs include the scaffold diversity and target addressability. While several tools exist to assess chemical diversity, a dedicated computational approach combining both parameters is currently lacking. Here, we present a cheminformatics tool leveraging scaffold analysis and machine learning to evaluate both scaffold diversity and target-orientedness. Using two in-house libraries as a case study, we demonstrate the workflow's ability to distinguish between generalist and focused libraries. This capability can guide medicinal chemists in selecting libraries tailored for specific objectives, such as hit-finding or hit-optimization. To facilitate utilization, this tool is freely available both as a web application and as a Python script at https://github.com/novalixofficial/NovaWebApp.
