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

Protein kinases are central regulators of cell signaling and play pivotal roles in a wide array of diseases, most notably cancer and autoimmune disorders. The clinical success of kinase inhibitors-such as imatinib and osimertinib-has firmly established kinases as valuable drug targets. However, the development of selective, potent inhibitors remains challenging due to the conserved nature of the ATP-binding site, off-target effects, resistance mutations, and patient-specific variability. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer transformative solutions to these obstacles across the drug discovery pipeline. This review explores how AI/ML methods, including deep learning, graph neural networks, and generative models, are revolutionizing the design, optimization, and repurposing of kinase inhibitors. We detail applications in target identification, virtual screening, structure-activity relationship modeling, resistance prediction, and clinical trial design. Representative case studies-such as AI-optimized BTK and EGFR inhibitors-highlight real-world impact. We also examine current limitations, including data sparsity, model interpretability, and translational gaps between
