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

ComptoxAI is a new data infrastructure for computational and artificial intelligence research in predictive toxicology. Here, we describe and showcase ComptoxAI's graph-structured knowledge base in the context of three real-world use-cases, demonstrating that it can rapidly answer complex questions about toxicology that are infeasible using previous technologies and data resources. These use-cases each demonstrate a tool for information retrieval from the knowledge base being used to solve a specific task: The "shortest path" module is used to identify mechanistic links between perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; the "expand network" module identifies communities that are linked to dioxin toxicity; and the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) dataset generator predicts pregnane X receptor agonism in a set of 4,021 pesticide ingredients. The contents of ComptoxAI's source data are rigorously aggregated from a diverse array of public third-party databases, and ComptoxAI is designed as a free, public, and open-source toolkit to enable diverse classes of users including biomedical researchers, public health and regulatory officials, and the general public to predict toxicology of unknowns and modes of action.
