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

Computational drug repositioning, through predicting drug-disease associations (DDA), offers significant potential for discovering new drug indications. Current methods incorporate graph neural networks (GNN) on drug-disease heterogeneous networks to predict DDAs, achieving notable performances compared to traditional machine learning and matrix factorization approaches. However, these methods depend heavily on network topology, hampered by incomplete and noisy network data, and overlook the wealth of biomedical knowledge available. Correspondingly, large language models (LLMs) excel in graph search and relational reasoning, which can possibly enhance the integration of comprehensive biomedical knowledge into drug and disease profiles. In this study, we first investigate the contribution of LLM-inferred knowledge representation in drug repositioning and DDA prediction. A zero-shot prompting template was designed for LLM to extract high-quality knowledge descriptions for drug and disease entities, followed by embedding generation from language models to transform the discrete text to continual numerical representation. Then, we proposed LLM-DDA with three different model architectures (LLM-DDA
