Abstract: Abstract Recent advances in bibliometrics have focused on text-mining to organize scientific disciplines based on author networks, keywords, and citations. These approaches provide insights, but fail to capture important experimental data that exist in many scientific disciplines. The objective of our paper is to show how such data can be used to organize the literature within a discipline, and identify knowledge gaps. Our approach is especially important for disciplines relying on randomized control trials. Using stroke rehabilitation as an informative example, we construct an interactive graphing platform to address domain general scientific questions relating to bias, common data elements, and relationships between key constructs in a field. Our platform allows researchers to ask their own questions and systematically search the literature from the data up.
