About This MicroSim

This interactive knowledge graph shows how clinical entities connect into a queryable structure. Diseases, medications, symptoms, lab tests, and patient conditions are drawn as distinct node shapes and colors, joined by typed relationships: medications TREAT diseases, diseases CAUSE symptoms, lab tests MEASURE diseases, medications are CONTRAINDICATED_IN certain patient conditions, and medications INTERACT_WITH each other. Together these labeled relationships are exactly what a graph query traverses to answer clinical questions.

How to Use

Read each node's shape and color against the legend, and follow the labeled, color-coded edges to see how the entities relate — for example, Metformin TREATS Type 2 Diabetes but is CONTRAINDICATED_IN severe renal impairment and pregnancy. Drag nodes to untangle the layout, and use the navigation buttons at the corners to pan and zoom; the graph is frozen after its initial layout so your rearrangements stay put.
