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

Molecular docking is a widely used technique in drug discovery to predict the binding mode of a given ligand to its target. However, the identification of the near-native binding pose in docking experiments still represents a challenging task as the scoring functions currently employed by docking programs are parametrized to predict the binding affinity, and, therefore, they often fail to correctly identify the ligand native binding conformation. Selecting the correct binding mode is crucial to obtaining meaningful results and to conveniently optimizing new hit compounds. Deep learning (DL) algorithms have been an area of a growing interest in this sense for their capability to extract the relevant information directly from the protein-ligand structure. Our review aims to present the recent advances regarding the development of DL-based pose selection approaches, discussing limitations and possible future directions. Moreover, a comparison between the performances of some classical scoring functions and DL-based methods concerning their ability to select the correct binding mode is reported. In this regard, two novel DL-based pose selectors developed by us are presented.
