Additionally, repositories like Gene Expression Omnibus and Sequence Read Archive provide access to raw data. Selected processed data can be accessed by visualization tools like the ReproGenomics Viewer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MFGA was developed in a time frame of 18 months under a rapid prototyping approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the context of the Clinical Research Unit \u2018Male Germ Cells\u2019 (CRU326), a group of around 50 domain experts in the fields of male infertility and germ cells helped to develop the requirements engineering and feedback loops. They provided a set of 39 representative and heterogeneous publications to establish a basis for the system requirements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MFGA is freely available online at https:\/\/mfga.uni-muenster.de. To date, it contains 115 data sets corresponding to 54 manually curated publications and provides an advanced search function based on study conditions, meta-information and genes, whereby it returns the publications\u2019 exact tables and figures that fit the search request as well as a list of the most frequently investigated genes in the result set. Currently, study data for 31 different tissue types, 32 different cell types and 20 conditions are available. Also, \u223c8000 and \u223c1000 distinct genes have been found to be mentioned in at least 10 and 15 of the publications, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LARGE SCALE DATA<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Not applicable because no novel data were produced.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For the most part, the content of the system currently includes the selected publications from the development process. However, a structured process for the prospective literature search and inclusion into the MFGA has been defined and is currently implemented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The technical implementation of the MFGA allows for accommodating a wide range of heterogeneous data from aggregated research results.
