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 integration of multi-omics data from diverse high-throughput technologies has revolutionized drug discovery. While various network-based methods have been developed to integrate multi-omics data, systematic evaluation and comparison of these methods remain challenging. This review aims to analyze network-based approaches for multi-omics integration and evaluate their applications in drug discovery. We conducted a comprehensive review of literature (2015-2024) on network-based multi-omics integration methods in drug discovery, and categorized methods into four primary types: network propagation/diffusion, similarity-based approaches, graph neural networks, and network inference models. We also discussed the applications of the methods in three scenario of drug discovery, including drug target identification, drug response prediction, and drug repurposing, and finally evaluated the performance of the methods by highlighting their advantages and limitations in specific applications. While network-based multi-omics integration has shown promise in drug discovery, challenges remain in computational scalability, data integration, and biological interpretation. Future developments should focus on incorporating temporal and spatial dynamics, improving model interpretability, and establishing standardized evaluation frameworks.
