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

Central nervous system (CNS) disorders are a therapeutic area in drug discovery where demand for new treatments greatly exceeds approved treatment options. This is complicated by the high failure rate in late-stage clinical trials, resulting in exorbitant costs associated with bringing new CNS drugs to market. Computer-aided drug design (CADD) techniques minimise the time and cost burdens associated with drug research and development by ensuring an advantageous starting point for pre-clinical and clinical assessments. The key elements of CADD are divided into ligand-based and structure-based methods. Ligand-based methods encompass techniques including pharmacophore modelling and quantitative structure activity relationships (QSARs), which use the relationship between biological activity and chemical structure to ascertain suitable lead molecules. In contrast, structure-based methods use information about the binding site architecture from an established protein structure to select suitable molecules for further investigation. In recent years, deep learning techniques have been applied in drug design and present an exciting addition to CADD workflows. Despite the difficulties associated with CNS drug discovery, advances towards new pharmaceutical treatments continue to be made, and CADD has supported these findings. This review explores various CADD techniques and discusses applications in CNS drug discovery from 2018 to November 2022.
