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

In October 2024 we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the first launch of ChEMBL, Europe's most impactful, open-access drug discovery database, hosted by EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). This is a good moment to reflect on ChEMBL's history, the role that ChEMBL plays in Cheminformatics and Drug Discovery as well as innovations accelerated using data extracted from it. The review closes by discussing current challenges and possible directions that need to be taken to guarantee that ChEMBL continues to be the pioneering resource for highly curated, open bioactivity data on the European continent and beyond.
