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 Human Reference Atlas (HRA) for the healthy, adult body is being developed by a team of international, interdisciplinary experts across 25+ consortia. It provides standard terminologies and data structures for describing specimens, biological structures, and spatial positions of experimental datasets and ontology-linked reference anatomical structures (ASs), cell types (CTs), and biomarkers (Bs). This paper introduces the HRA Knowledge Graph (KG) as central data resource for the HRA, supporting cross-scale, biological queries to Resource Description Framework graphs using SPARQL. In May 2025, the HRA KG v2.2 covers 71 organs with 5,800 ASs, 2,268 CTs, 2,531 Bs; it has 10,064,033 nodes, 171,250,177 edges, and a size of 125.84 GB. The HRA KG comprises 13 types of Digital Objects (DOs) using the Common Coordinate Framework Ontology to standardize core concepts and relationships across DOs. This work (1) provides data and code for HRA KG construction; (2) details HRA KG deployment as Linked Open Data; and (3) illustrates HRA KG usage via application programming interfaces, user interfaces, and data products.
