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

Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is a high-quality, manually curated, and open-access database and ontology of chemical entities available online at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/. The chemical entities in question are either naturally occurring compounds or synthetic compounds that play a vital role in the processes of living organisms. ChEBI was launched in 2004, and over the years the original codebase has become increasingly difficult to maintain. Here, we describe the complete overhaul and modernization of ChEBI's infrastructure, including its codebase and associated tools (website, web services, and submission tool) to ensure the continued availability and growth of this critical resource for the global bioinformatics community and beyond. The infrastructure overhaul also enabled us to introduce new features and capabilities into ChEBI as well as to update or deprecate redundant ones.
