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

The network approach is quickly becoming a fundamental building block of computational methods aiming at elucidating the mechanism of action (MoA) and therapeutic effect of drugs. By modeling the effect of drugs and diseases on different biological networks, it is possible to better explain the interplay between disease perturbations and drug targets as well as how drug compounds induce favorable biological responses and/or adverse effects. Omics technologies have been extensively used to generate the data needed to study the mechanisms of action of drugs and diseases. These data are often exploited to define condition-specific networks and to study whether drugs can reverse disease perturbations. In this review, we describe network data mining algorithms that are commonly used to study drug's MoA and to improve our understanding of the basis of chronic diseases. These methods can support fundamental stages of the drug development process, including the identification of putative drug targets, the in silico screening of drug compounds and drug combinations for the treatment of diseases. We also discuss recent studies using biological and omics-driven networks to search for possible repurposed FDA-approved drug treatments for SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19).
