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

Unexpected toxicity has become a significant obstacle to drug candidate development, accounting for 30% of drug discovery failures. Traditional toxicity assessment through animal testing is costly and time-consuming. Big data and artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (ML), are robustly contributing to innovation and progress in toxicology research. However, the optimal AI model for different types of toxicity usually varies, making it essential to conduct comparative analyses of AI methods across toxicity domains. The diverse data sources also pose challenges for researchers focusing on specific toxicity studies. In this review, 10 categories of drug-induced toxicity is examined, summarizing the characteristics and applicable ML models, including both predictive and interpretable algorithms, striking a balance between breadth and depth. Key databases and tools used in toxicity prediction are also highlighted, including toxicology, chemical, multi-omics, and benchmark databases, organized by their focus and function to clarify their roles in drug-induced toxicity prediction. Finally, strategies to turn challenges into opportunities are analyzed and discussed. This review may provide researchers with a valuable reference for understanding and utilizing the available resources to bridge prediction and mechanistic insights, and further advance the application of ML in drugs-induced toxicity prediction.
