Maps

This feature is currently in a closed beta. You can request access by clicking on the information icon next to the tabs on System Pro or by reaching out to us at [e-mail].

Powered by the System platform, System Pro provides a novel way to contextualize your search and discover new insights and relationships to improve your research.

You can start to use Map to explore research questions like:

• "What are the all the known treatment options for malaria?"

• "Which diseases are associated with a BRCA1 gene mutation?"

And soon, you will be able to leverage Map to ask questions like:

• Which factors mediate the relationship between alcohol consumption and liver disease?

• Which molecular pathway(s) is a particular protein involved in?

How does Maps work?

To get started, we seed Maps with a keyword that we’ve identified in your search.

You can also choose one of the suggested similar topics or click out and search millions of topics in the System Graph.

Next, you can select the view of the graph you want to explore: currently, relationships upstream or downstream of your topic, using the view switcher shown below. Many more views and pathways are coming soon, including mediators and confounders. Arrows (->) indicate the direction of the relationship.

Once you have the view of the data you want, try filtering the data by Topic Category or Relationship Type. These powerful filters allow you to identify subsets of the map, like behavioral factors associated with asthma, or all activation processes of BRCA1.

Filtering on Relationship Type, you can select statistical associations derived from statistical models and mechanistic relationships such as activation and inhibition.

By default, we will include all possible relationship types in the set of findings. However, some of the data we have extracted from scientific papers include statistical findings that are "non-significant". Since these do not indicate an association, these data are not included by default. However you can choose to include non-significant findings (e.g., those with a p-value >0.05 or a confidence interval that includes the null) by using the significance filter.

Finally, for any row, you can select a relationship and explore and export the underlying evidence. Every relationship in the System Graph is based on verified evidence. Click on the findings or on the arrow itself to see the underlying data. The number of findings for each relationship grows regularly as we extract more evidence from verified sources and match extracted variables to topics in the System Graph.
