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

Topological data analysis (TDA) has emerged as a powerful framework for extracting robust, multiscale, and interpretable features from complex molecular data for artificial intelligence (AI) modeling and topological deep learning (TDL). This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development, methodologies, and applications of TDA in molecular sciences. We trace the evolution of TDA from early qualitative tools to advanced quantitative and predictive models, highlighting innovations such as persistent homology, persistent Laplacians, and topological machine learning. The paper explores TDA's transformative impact across diverse domains, including biomolecular stability, protein-ligand interactions, drug discovery, materials science, topological sequence analysis, and viral evolution. Special attention is paid to recent advances in integrating TDA with machine learning and AI, enabling breakthroughs in protein engineering, solubility, and toxicity prediction, and the discovery of novel materials and therapeutics. We also discuss the limitations of current TDA approaches and outline future directions, including the integration of TDA with advanced AI models and the development of new topological invariants. This review aims to serve as a foundational reference for researchers seeking to harness the power of topology in molecular sciences.
