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

Fast and accurate identification of inhibitors with potency against HCV NS5B polymerase is currently a challenging task. As conventional experimental methods is the gold standard method for the design and development of new HCV inhibitors, they often require costly investment of time and resources. In this study, we develop a novel machine learning-based meta-predictor (termed StackHCV) for accurate and large-scale identification of HCV inhibitors. Unlike the existing method, which is based on single-feature-based approach, we first constructed a pool of various baseline models by employing a wide range of heterogeneous molecular fingerprints with five popular machine learning algorithms (k-nearest neighbor, multi-layer perceptron, partial least squares, random forest and support vectors machine). Secondly, we integrated these baseline models in order to develop the final meta-based model by means of the stacking strategy. Extensive benchmarking experiments showed that StackHCV achieved a more accurate and stable performance as compared to its constituent baseline models on the training dataset and also outperformed the existing predictor on the independent test dataset. To facilitate the high-throughput identification of HCV inhibitors, we built a web server that can be freely accessed at http://camt.pythonanywhere.com/StackHCV . It is expected that StackHCV could be a useful tool for fast and precise identification of potential drugs against HCV NS5B particularly for liver cancer therapy and other clinical applications.
