Experiments
Searchable full-text extractions: founding hypothesis, core claims, experimental setups, key results and statistics — pulled out of each paper as structure. Search a cell line, an assay or an entity (e.g. HUH7) and find every paper that worked with it. This corpus stands on its own: most entries carry no reproduction assessment (yet).

Gene-environment interaction and obesity.
PMID 19019037 · PMC3683966 · Nutrition reviews · 2008 · 8 claims · 8 setups
Obesity susceptibility is largely genetically determined but requires environmental exposure (excess energy intake, low fiber, physical inactivity) to manifest phenotypically.

Cardiovascular genomics, personalized medicine, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute: part I: the beginning of an era.
PMID 20031542 · PMC3097376 · Circulation. Cardiovascular genetics · 2008 · 7 claims · 8 setups
Rare Mendelian mutations (e.g., in sarcomere genes, ion channels, FBN1, LMNA) cause specific rare cardiovascular conditions (hypertrophic/dilated cardiomyopathy, long-QT syndrome, thoracic aortic aneurysm, progeria) but explain little of common CVD risk.

The limits of reductionism in medicine: could systems biology offer an alternative?
PMID 16681415 · PMC1459480 · PLoS medicine · 2006 · 8 claims · 3 setups
Reductionist medical science (focus on singular causal factors, homeostasis-as-normal-range, one-risk-factor epidemiology, additive treatment of comorbidities) has inherent limitations for explaining complex disease behavior
