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

SMILES2Docking converts spreadsheet-based SMILES libraries into docking-ready 3D ligands through a single, configurable pipeline. Salt and coformer removal, a three-mode stereocenter policy, prediction of the dominant protonation state with a graph neural network pKa model (MolGpKa) refined by iterative titration, distance-geometry embedding with RDKit, a molecular-mechanics optimization cascade, and an optional semi-empirical refinement under an implicit solvation model are combined in one tool, with records processed either sequentially or distributed across CPU cores. Users select among permissive, strict, and enumerative stereocenter modes, so the same tool serves broad exploratory screening and precision docking. A per-compound JSON audit report records the ionization and stereocenter decisions taken for every structure. The tool is distributed as a Python package, a Windows executable with bundled MOPAC, a Linux portable bundle, and a macOS bundle, under GPL-2.0-or-later, and is freely available to non-commercial users at https://github.com/amgoncalvesusp/Smiles2Docking (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20617898).
