medicX-KG: a knowledge graph for pharmacists' drug information needs.
Article in Journal of biomedical semantics, 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
The role of pharmacists is evolving from medicine dispensing to delivering comprehensive pharmaceutical services within multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Central to this shift is access to accurate, up-to-date medicinal product information supported by robust data integration. Leveraging artificial intelligence and semantic technologies, Knowledge Graphs (KGs) uncover hidden relationships and enable data-driven decision-making. This paper presents medicX-KG, a pharmacist-oriented knowledge graph supporting clinical and regulatory decisions. It forms the semantic layer of the broader medicX platform, powering predictive and explainable pharmacy services. medicX-KG integrates data from three sources, including, the British National Formulary (BNF), DrugBank, and the Malta Medicines Authority (MMA) that addresses Malta's regulatory landscape and combines European Medicines Agency alignment with partial UK supply dependence. The KG tackles the absence of a unified national drug repository, reducing pharmacists' reliance on fragmented sources. Its design was informed by interviews with practising pharmacists to ensure real-world applicability. We detail the KG's construction, including data extraction, ontology design, and semantic mapping. Evaluation demonstrates that medicX-KG effectively supports queries about drug availability, interactions, adverse reactions, and therapeutic classes. Limitations, including missing detailed dosage encoding and real-time updates, are discussed alongside directions for future enhancements.
