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

GluN3A-containing NMDA receptors have recently emerged as promising therapeutic targets for neurological disorders. However, discovering potent modulators remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the limitations of traditional high-throughput screening methods. In this study, we introduce a novel drug-target affinity prediction method, CLG-DTA, designed to enhance drug discovery for the GluN1/GluN3A receptor. This graph contrastive learning-based method incorporates natural language supervision by transforming regression labels into textual representation, and integrating them with traditional affinity data to enhance molecular representation. Additionally, a numerical knowledge graph is employed to refine continuous text embeddings, enabling precise modeling of complex drug-target interactions across diverse data modalities. Using CLG-DTA, we screened a library of 18 million compounds and identified 12 candidates for experimental validation. Among them, five compounds exhibited significant activity, with Boeravinone E demonstrating the highest potency (
