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 fragrance development, the framework development process is a bottleneck from the perspective of labor, cost, and human resource development. Odors vary greatly depending on the structure and functional groups of the molecule. Although odor has been predicted from only the structure of molecules, its practical application remains elusive. In this study, we developed a model for predicting the odor of molecules that have only small differences in structure. Focusing on the mechanism of human olfaction, we divided the mechanism into three levels and constructed three models: a classification model that predicts the presence or absence of binding between molecules and olfactory receptors, a regression model that predicts the strength of binding, and a classification model that predicts the presence or absence of odor based on the strength of binding. Olfactory receptors were used as descriptors to discriminate between similar molecular odors. Our models predicted odor differences between some similar molecules, including optical isomers.
