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

The process of developing new drugs is arduous and costly, particularly for targets classified as "difficult-to-drug." Macrocycles show a particular ability to modulate difficult-to-drug targets, including protein-protein interactions, while still allowing oral administration. However, the determination of membrane permeability, critical for reaching intracellular targets and for oral bioavailability, is laborious and expensive. In silico methods are a cost-effective alternative, enabling predictions prior to compound synthesis. Here, we present a comprehensive online database ( https://swemacrocycledb.com/ ), housing 5638 membrane permeability datapoints for 4216 nonpeptidic macrocycles, curated from the literature, patents, and bioactivity repositories. In addition, we present a new descriptor, the "amide ratio" (AR), that quantifies the peptidic nature of macrocyclic compounds, enabling the classification of peptidic, semipeptidic, and nonpeptidic macrocycles. Overall, this resource fills a gap among existing databases, offering valuable insights into the membrane permeability of nonpeptidic and semipeptidic macrocycles, and facilitating predictions for drug discovery projects.
