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

While Americans are using herbal dietary supplements (natural products) more than ever, the consumption of natural products with prescription drugs can lead to harmful interactions. Pharmacovigilance of natural products depends on careful expert review and interpretation of a wide variety of evidence. In prior work, we demonstrated the value of knowledge graph (NP-KG) for assisting with natural product safety investigations. However, scaling the NP-KG from 33 natural products to the thousands on the market requires computer-assisted data extraction, particularly from visual elements (figures or tables) of pharmacology literature. We evaluated the accuracy and resilience of 3 open-weights and 7 closed-weights multimodal models by performing visual information extraction from select tables and images. The best performing models could accurately extract 90% of tabular data and 45% of data reported figures with a modified relative error rate of 0.05. Image resolution and information density were primary hindrances to better extraction performance.
