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 gut microbiome produces thousands of metabolites with potential to modulate central nervous system function through peripheral or direct neural mechanisms. Tourette syndrome, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder exhibit shared neurotransmitter dysregulation and microbiome alterations, yet mechanistic links between microbial metabolites and receptor-mediated neuromodulation remain unclear. We screened 27,642 microbiome SMILES metabolites for blood-brain barrier permeability using rule-based SwissADME classification and a PyTorch 2.0 neural network trained on 7807 experimental compounds (test accuracy 86.2%, AUC 0.912). SwissADME identified 1696 BBB-crossing metabolites following Lipinski's criteria, while PyTorch classified 2484 metabolites with expanded physicochemical diversity. Following 3D conformational optimization (from SMILES) and curation based on ≤32 rotatable bonds, molecular docking was performed against five neurotransmitter receptors representing ionotropic (GABRA2, GRIA2, GRIN2B) and metabotropic (DRD4, HTR1A) receptor classes. The top 50 ligands across five receptors demonstrated method-specific BBB classification (44% SwissADME-only, 44% PyTorch-only, 12% overlap), validating complementary prediction approaches.
