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

A successful drug needs to combine several properties including high potency and good pharmacokinetic (PK) properties to sustain efficacious plasma concentration over time. To estimate required doses for preclinical animal efficacy models or for the clinics, in vivo PK studies need to be conducted. Although the prediction of ADME properties of compounds using machine learning (ML) models based on chemical structures is well established in drug discovery, the prediction of complete plasma concentration-time profiles has only recently gained attention. In this study, we systematically compare various approaches that integrate ML models with empiric or mechanistic PK models to predict PK profiles in rats after intravenous administration prior to synthesis. More specifically, we compare a standard noncompartmental analysis (NCA)-based approach (prediction of CL and V
