Elucidating the mechanistic relationships between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and hepatic fibrosis using the ROBOKOP knowledge graph.
Article in Frontiers in toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We developed the Reasoning Over Biomedical Objects linked in Knowledge Oriented Pathways (ROBOKOP) application as an open-source knowledge graph system to support evidence-based biomedical discovery and hypothesis generation. This study aimed to apply ROBOKOP to suggest biological mechanisms that might explain the hypothesized relationship between exposure to the herbicide and lipid-lowering drug clofibrate, an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARA), and hepatic fibrosis. We queried ROBOKOP to first establish that it could demonstrate a relationship between clofibrate and PPARA as a validation test and second to identify intermediary genes and biological processes or activities that might relate the activation of PPARA by clofibrate to hepatic fibrosis. Queries of ROBOKOP returned several paths relating clofibrate, PPARA, and hepatic fibrosis. One path suggested the following:
