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

Drug repurposing offers an effective path to new therapies, yet existing computational approaches rely on a single line of evidence and are rarely validated across biological scales. We present LinkD, an integrated framework that unifies diffusion-based affinity prediction, proteome-wide selectivity scoring, phenotypic validation, and population-scale clinical evidence. LinkD-Bind predicts binding across 14,981 drugs and 20,385 human targets, ranking first in 8 of 9 BindingDB, Davis, and KIBA evaluations, with the largest gains under cold-start conditions. LinkD-Select recovers 95.3% of known drug-target pairs by combining selectivity scoring and molecular docking. LinkD-Pheno integrates drug-sensitivity and CRISPR dependency data across 960 cancer cell lines, identifying 34 novel drug-gene pairs and recovering ~85% of known targets among the top 50 candidates. Across 11.5 million individuals from Mount Sinai and UK Biobank, LinkD-prioritized β-blockers propranolol (HR 0.82) and carvedilol (HR 0.92) reduced 5-year prostate cancer incidence relative to metoprolol, corroborated by ADRB2 docking and LNCaP growth inhibition. LinkD-Agent, which can effectively orchestrate all evidence layers, is served on a publicly available web platform (https://linkd-agent.onrender.com/), enabling a wide range of users to derive new drug repurposing opportunities through natural language queries.
