Study of drug function based on similarity of pathway fingerprint.
Article in Protein & cell, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Drugs sharing similar therapeutic function may not bind to the same group of targets. However, their targets may be involved in similar pathway profiles which are associated with certain pathological process. In this study, pathway fingerprint was introduced to indicate the profile of significant pathways being influenced by the targets of drugs. Then drug-drug network was further constructed based on significant similarity of pathway fingerprints. In this way, the functions of a drug may be hinted by the enriched therapeutic functions of its neighboring drugs. In the test of 911 FDA approved drugs with more than one known target, 471 drugs could be connected into networks. 760 significant associations of drug-therapeutic function were generated, among which around 60% of them were supported by scientific literatures or ATC codes of drug functional classification. Therefore, pathway fingerprints may be useful to further study on the potential function of known drugs, or the unknown function of new drugs.
