Network Crosstalk as a Basis for Drug Repurposing.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
The need for systematic drug repurposing has seen a steady increase over the past decade and may be particularly valuable to quickly remedy unexpected pandemics. The abundance of functional interaction data has allowed mapping of substantial parts of the human interactome modeled using functional association networks, favoring network-based drug repurposing. Network crosstalk-based approaches have never been tested for drug repurposing despite their success in the related and more mature field of pathway enrichment analysis. We have, therefore, evaluated the top performing crosstalk-based approaches for drug repurposing. Additionally, the volume of new interaction data as well as more sophisticated network integration approaches compelled us to construct a new benchmark for performance assessment of network-based drug repurposing tools, which we used to compare network crosstalk-based methods with a state-of-the-art technique. We find that network crosstalk-based drug repurposing is able to rival the state-of-the-art method and in some cases outperform it.
