The selectivity implications of docking libraries with greater and lesser similarities to bio-like molecules.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
As virtual libraries have expanded into the tens of billions via make-on-demand chemistry, their similarity to metabolites, natural products, and drugs ("bio-like" molecules) has rapidly diminished. Despite this divergence, molecular docking of these ultra-large libraries has yielded molecules at higher experimental hit-rates and with improved affinities. The structural divergence from bio-like space raises the possibility that molecules from these ultra-large libraries have improved selectivity. Just as plausibly, if hit-rates on-target are divorced from similarity to bio-like molecules, so too may be selectivity against off-targets. Here, we test whether docking hits for the 5-HT
