A multi-agent GraphRAG framework for pharmacotherapy safety verification in clinical decision support systems.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The management of pharmacotherapy in patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy is a difficult task in routine clinical practice. Clinicians must consider diagnoses, prescribed drugs, contraindications, drug-drug interactions, renal and hepatic function, laboratory values, dose limits and individual risk factors. Clinical decision support systems in traditional settings are based on static rules, and hard to update. Standalone large language models are capable of processing clinical language but their outputs may be unsupported by evidence, incomplete or out of date. In this study, we developed and evaluated a hybrid multi-agent GraphRAG framework for personalised pharmacotherapy safety verification. Methods: We developed a system that integrates graph based retrieval with large language models. The framework was composed of three parts: (1) a schema for a pharmacotherapy knowledge graph that encoded indications, contraindications, interactions, laboratory thresholds, dose limitations and relevant patient conditions; (2) an Extractor-Critic workflow that transformed unstructured medical text into graph elements with quality checks prior to their incorporation; and (3) a retrieval and re-ranking module that leveraged semantic search, graph traversal and safety-directed scoring. The system was evaluated on 12 benchmark cases extraction and 30 clinical safety questions answering. Comparison of conventional RAG and GraphRAG was done using linear mixed effects models, permutation testing, and paired case-level analysis. Results: The multi-agent extraction workflow beat the zero-shot baseline. Strict F1 improved by 0.156 points ( Conclusion: The evaluation revealed that the integration of LLM-based extraction with a pharmacotherapy knowledge graph enhanced safety-oriented clinical decision support. GraphRAG provided more accurate and traceable answers than traditional RAG. Routine adoption will require validation on larger graphs, a wider range of datasets and real clinical populations, but this approach may be appropriate for cost sensitive and privacy conscious workflows.
