Integrating VA's NDF-RT drug terminology with PharmGKB: preliminary results.
Article in Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Biomedical terminology and vocabulary standards play an important role in enabling consistent, comparable, and meaningful sharing of data within and across institutional boundaries, as well as ensuring semantic interoperability. The Veterans Affairs (VA) National Drug File Reference Terminology (NDF-RT) is a federally recommended standardized terminology resource encompassing medications, ingredients, and a hierarchy for high-level drug classes. In this study, we investigate the drug-disease relationships in NDF-RT and determine how PharmGKB can be leveraged to augment NDF-RT, and vice-versa. Our preliminary results indicate that with additional curation and analyses, information contained in both knowledge resources can be mutually integrated.
