The knowledge graph
53 relationships, and 43 we have not established
148 concepts. Every relationship below is drawn only if a claim asserts it. Drawing a line publishes a medical assertion, so a line without evidence is not a weak claim — it is a different and false one, and this platform does not draw it.

The 43 relationships we have not established
These are relationships the ontology anticipates and the evidence does not yet support. They are listed, never drawn. Each is a specific, answerable question, and naming them is how this platform states the shape of its own ignorance.

There is no interactive diagram. A force-directed picture of 148 nodes would be beautiful and would tell a reader nothing they could act on. The local search enhancement does not draw a graph. The relationships are listed because a list can be read aloud.
