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

The Disease Maps Project focuses on the development of disease-specific comprehensive structured knowledge repositories supporting translational medicine research. These disease maps require continuous interdisciplinary collaboration and should be reusable and interoperable. Adhering to the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles enhances the utility of such digital assets. We used the RDA FAIR Data Maturity Model and assessed the FAIRness of the Molecular Interaction NEtwoRk VisuAlization (MINERVA) Platform. MINERVA is a standalone webserver that allows users to manage, explore and analyse disease maps and their related data manually or programmatically. We exemplify the FAIR assessment on the Parkinson's Disease Map (PD map) and the COVID-19 Disease Map, which are large-scale projects under the umbrella of the Disease Maps Project, aiming to investigate molecular mechanisms of the Parkinson's disease and SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively. We discuss the FAIR features supported by the MINERVA Platform and we outline steps to further improve the MINERVA FAIRness and to better connect this resource to other ongoing scientific initiatives supporting FAIR in computational systems biomedicine.
