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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, affecting approximately 35 million people worldwide. The current treatment options for people with AD consist of drugs designed to slow the rate of decline in memory and cognition, but these treatments are not curative, and patients eventually suffer complete cognitive injury. With the substantial amounts of published data on targets for this disease, we proposed that machine learning software could be used to find novel small-molecule treatments that can supplement the AD drugs currently on the market. In order to do this, we used publicly available data in ChEMBL to build and validate Bayesian machine learning models for AD target proteins. The first AD target that we have addressed with this method is the serine-threonine kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β), which is a proline-directed serine-threonine kinase that phosphorylates the microtubule-stabilizing protein tau. This phosphorylation prompts tau to dissociate from the microtubule and form insoluble oligomers called paired helical filaments, which are one of the components of the neurofibrillary tangles found in AD brains. Using our Bayesian machine learning model for GSK3β consisting of 2368 molecules, this model produced a five-fold cross validation ROC of 0.905. This model was also used for virtual screening of large libraries of FDA-approved drugs and clinical candidates. Subsequent testing of selected compounds revealed a selective small-molecule inhibitor, ruboxistaurin, with activity against GSK3β (avg IC
