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

Motivation: Logical gene regulatory network (GRN) models provide interpretable, mechanistic representations of cellular regulation and are widely used in systems biology. However, most existing models remain incomplete, context-specific, and difficult to extend to comprehensive GRNs, limiting their broader applicability to tasks such as drug-response prediction and precision medicine. Results: We present KGBN (Knowledge Graph-augmented Boolean Network modeling), a computational workflow for systematically augmenting logical GRN models. KGBN incorporates regulatory interactions derived from curated knowledge graphs as alternative logical rules while preserving the validated structure of existing models. Rule probabilities are optimized against experimental data to represent regulatory uncertainty and achieve data-driven calibration. Applying KGBN to acute myeloid leukemia, we show that extending an existing GRN with drug-target pathways and training against Availability and implementation: KGBN is available at https://github.com/IlyaLab/KGBN.
