Diseases & Knowledge Graph

Explore your portfolio by MONDO disease — cards, table, search and charts — plus the interactive disease ↔ molecule ↔ trial knowledge graph.

The Diseases tab

Every trial's free-text conditions are mapped to canonical MONDO ontology terms, so "colon cancer", "colorectal carcinoma" and similar collapse to one disease. The Diseases tab rolls your followed trials up by MONDO term so you can see — and filter by — the diseases your portfolio actually covers.

Your followed trials rolled up by MONDO disease, here in the Table view.
  • Each disease shows its canonical name, MONDO id, how many of your followed trials map to it, whether it's a rare disease, and how the mapping was made — as Exact match, AI mapped or (weakest, in amber) AI inferred badges.
  • Switch between Cards, Table, and By link views. By link lists one row per trial–disease link (NCT ID, Trial, Disease, MONDO ID, Match, Confidence, Rare).
  • Search diseases… narrows the list as you type.
  • A "Rare only" checkbox focuses on rare diseases.

Filter your portfolio by disease

Filters on the Diseases tab narrow the whole Follow-Up page — dashboard, Trials tab, map, and every other chart — to the trials mapped to the diseases that remain. Clear Filters resets them.

  • Tick Rare only to keep just the trials mapped to a rare disease.
  • In the Table or By link view, use the funnel icon in a column header (for example Disease, Rare or Match) to keep only the rows you tick.
  • On the Dashboard, click a bar in MONDO Top Diseases, or a slice of MONDO Rare vs Non-rare Diseases, to filter the same way. Chart selections stack with your other filters.
  • Clicking a disease card or table row opens that disease's detail panel rather than filtering.

MONDO disease charts

Three charts on the Dashboard summarize the disease layer (full calculations are in the Dashboard Charts guide):

Two of the MONDO charts as they appear on the Dashboard.
ChartWhat it shows
MONDO Top DiseasesThe most-covered diseases, counted as the number of your followed trials that study each one. Click a bar to filter.
MONDO Rare vs Non-rare DiseasesHow your distinct diseases split between rare and non-rare. Click a slice to filter.
MONDO Disease Match MethodHow condition→MONDO mappings were made — exact, alias, LLM, or inferred from trial text (a proxy for mapping confidence).

Disease detail & ontology context

Open a disease to see where it sits in the ontology and what's studied for it:

A disease's external references, parents and ancestors in one panel.
  • External references — deep links to OMIM, Orphanet, ICD-10, MeSH, DOID, EFO, NCIt and more for the term.
  • Hierarchy — Parents, every Ancestor term, and Children (narrower terms), so you can see broader/narrower diseases.
  • Landscape — a ranked table of the molecules studied for the disease, with trial counts and phases; click a molecule to open its full drug details.

Knowledge Graph

Each disease detail offers an interactive graph view: the disease at the center, the molecules studied for it around it, and — on expand — the trials at each molecule × disease intersection (restricted to your followed trials). It's the same data as the landscape table, navigable as a node-link graph.

The disease sits at the centre with its molecules around it; expand a molecule to see its trials.
  • By default the graph shows the molecules with the most trials and gathers the rest into a "+N more" node; the All N button shows every molecule, and Top 12 switches back.
  • Click a molecule to expand its trials; click a trial node's "View details" to open the trial, or a molecule's "Drug details" to open the drug modal.
  • Fullscreen, pinch/drag to pan & zoom (desktop and mobile), and a "Move subtree" mode to drag a molecule together with its trials.
  • Filter mode turns a click into a portfolio filter — narrow the dashboard to a molecule's or a single trial's trials.
  • The inverse graph is available from any drug: the drug details modal has a Graph button showing drug → diseases → trials, with a "Disease details" jump back into the disease view.
Tip: The graph is reachable two ways: from a disease (disease → molecules → trials) and from a drug (drug → diseases → trials) — the same relationships, entered from whichever end you're investigating.

Where disease data comes from

Conditions are mapped to the MONDO (Monarch Disease Ontology) via exact-name, alias, and LLM-assisted matching, stored as trial→condition links. The molecule and trial relationships in the landscape and graph come from the same molecule/disease links that power the drug intelligence, joined to the MONDO ontology (parents, ancestors, children, and the rare-disease flag).

Note: A disease's node counts can show the database-wide total while the expanded trials are limited to the ones you follow — so a disease may list trials globally yet expand to only your followed subset.
