Article in BMC systems biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundSeveral online databases provide a large amount of biomedical data of different biological entities. These resources are typically stored in systems implementing their own data model, user interface and query language. On the other hand, in many bioinformatics scenarios there is often the need to use more than one resource. The availability of a single bioinformatics platform that integrates many biological resources and services is, for those reasons a fundamental issue. DESCRIPTION: Here, we present BioGraph, a web application that allows to query, visualize and analyze biological data belonging to several online available sources. BioGraph is built upon our previously developed graph database called BioGraphDB, that integrates and stores heterogeneous biological resources and make them available by means of a common structure and a unique query language. BioGraph implements state-of-the-art technologies and provides pre-compiled bioinformatics scenarios, as well as the possibility to perform custom queries and obtaining an interactive and dynamic visualization of results.

conclusionWe present a case study about functional analysis of microRNA in breast cancer in order to demonstrate the functionalities of the system. BioGraph is freely available at http://biograph.pa.icar.cnr.it . Source files are available on GitHub at https://github.com/IcarPA-TBlab/BioGraph.
