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

motivationMolecular maps are graphical representations of the molecular mechanisms underlying biological systems. They are a valuable tool for curating, exchanging, and understanding biological knowledge, and may serve as a backbone for data analysis and modelling. Molecular maps are supported by a rich software ecosystem. However, there are currently no tools that support advanced programmatic analysis and processing of maps, in particular the extraction of the biological concepts they represent or their comparison.

resultsWe introduce momapy, a generic Python library to work with molecular maps programmatically. At its core, momapy allows users to extract and separate the data model of a map from its graphical representation, and perform a variety of base operations on them, including their manipulation and comparison. momapy currently supports the SBGN and CellDesigner formats, two of the main standards to represent molecular maps graphically, and can be easily extended to support additional formats and functionalities. AVAILABILITY: momapy is implemented in Python (RRID:SCR_008394) under a GPLv3 license. The code can be downloaded freely from https://github.com/adrienrougny/momapy and is archived on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19088611). Complete documentation and a user manual are available at https://adrienrougny.github.io/momapy.
