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

Motivation: The Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP)-Wiki, a knowledge database for AOPs, requires an efficient way to present an overview of its content for the reconstruction of networks by experts in a given domain. We have developed the AOP-networkFinder, a user-friendly tool that retrieves AOPs of interest, allows network generation and cleaning, and finally visualizes networks built around the retrieved AOPs. Our tool constructs AOP networks by connecting AOPs that use the same Key Events (KEs) in a versatile but controlled manner. Genes related to these KEs are also displayed. The constructed networks can then be exported as images or to Cytoscape for further fine-tuning and statistical analysis. Results: The AOP-networkFinder allows users to comprehensively identify relationships between KEs and visualize the overall structure of an AOP both quickly and easily. This is immensely beneficial to researchers who need to understand the complex interplay between different KEs and the overall pathway they are studying and helps them to build further networks of interest while logging relevant information about changes within the network. These efforts are in line with the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable principles, which are crucial attributes for any developed databases and tools for optimizing (re)use in a dynamically changing landscape of AOP-Wiki. Availability and implementation: The AOP-networkFinder is an open-source application and is available online at aop-networkfinder.no, in the 'Computational Toxicology at Norwegian Institute of Public Health' Zenodo community at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.11068434, in the GitHub repository at github.com/folkehelseinstituttet/AOPnetworkFinder_v1, as well as in a Docker image at hub.docker.com/r/nurre123/aop_network_finder. The software is available under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), v3.0. The tool uses the AOP-Wiki SPARQL endpoint to retrieve AOP data.
