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

Accurate prediction of protein-ligand bound poses and their affinities is essential in structure-based drug discovery. Here, we present an integrated deep-learning framework that disentangles the two core tasks─affinity estimation and pose evaluation─within complementary graph neural network architectures. BA-Pred is for predicting binding affinity and RMSD-Pred is for binding pose assessment, predicting the root-mean-squared deviation of ligand poses from crystal structures. Both models employ a Gated Graph Convolutional Network with Learnable Structural Positional Encoding (GatedGCN-LSPE) architecture to capture spatial and chemical dependencies across protein-ligand graphs. BA-Pred achieved state-of-the-art scoring power on the CASF-2016 benchmark with a root-mean-squared error of 1.10 p
