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

Compared with generic artificial intelligence agents, deep research agents perform longer-horizon reasoning and deeper literature exploration to investigate complex questions. Here we present DeepEvidence, a deep research agent for evidence exploration and synthesis across heterogeneous biomedical knowledge sources. DeepEvidence advances deep research through coordinated multi-agent collaboration combining breadth-first and depth-first research strategies to search, explore and aggregate evidence from multiple biomedical knowledge bases and literature. It also incrementally constructs an evidence graph of key entities and observations to support transparent tracking, attribution and validation of the research process. DeepEvidence substantially outperforms generic artificial intelligence agents across four open benchmarks. We further establish seven benchmark tasks spanning major stages of biomedical discovery, including drug discovery, preclinical experimentation, clinical trial development and evidence-based medicine. DeepEvidence demonstrates substantial improvements in systematic evidence exploration and synthesis. These results highlight the potential of deep research agents to accelerate biomedical discovery and translational research.
