PloverDB: a high-performance platform for serving biomedical knowledge graphs as standards-compliant web APIs.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
summaryKnowledge graphs are increasingly being used to integrate heterogeneous biomedical knowledge and data. General-purpose graph database management systems such as Neo4j are often used to host and search knowledge graphs, but such tools come with overhead and leave biomedical-specific standards compliance and reasoning to the user. Interoperability across biomedical knowledge bases and reasoning systems necessitates the use of standards such as those adopted by the Biomedical Data Translator consortium. We present PloverDB, a comprehensive software platform for hosting and efficiently serving biomedical knowledge graphs as standards-compliant web application programming interfaces. In addition to fundamental back-end knowledge reasoning tasks, PloverDB automatically handles entity resolution, exposure of standardized metadata and test data, and multiplexing of knowledge graphs, all in a single platform designed specifically for efficient query answering and ease of deployment. PloverDB increases data accessibility and utility by allowing data providers to quickly serve their biomedical knowledge graphs as standards-compliant web services.
