Dug: a semantic search engine leveraging peer-reviewed knowledge to query biomedical data repositories.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2022. 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
motivationAs the number of public data resources continues to proliferate, identifying relevant datasets across heterogenous repositories is becoming critical to answering scientific questions. To help researchers navigate this data landscape, we developed Dug: a semantic search tool for biomedical datasets utilizing evidence-based relationships from curated knowledge graphs to find relevant datasets and explain why those results are returned.
resultsDeveloped through the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's (NHLBI) BioData Catalyst ecosystem, Dug has indexed more than 15 911 study variables from public datasets. On a manually curated search dataset, Dug's total recall (total relevant results/total results) of 0.79 outperformed default Elasticsearch's total recall of 0.76. When using synonyms or related concepts as search queries, Dug (0.36) far outperformed Elasticsearch (0.14) in terms of total recall with no significant loss in the precision of its top results. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Dug is freely available at https://github.com/helxplatform/dug. An example Dug deployment is also available for use at https://search.biodatacatalyst.renci.org/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
