Finding relevant publications in the large and rapidly growing body of biomedical literature is challenging. Search queries on PubMed often return thousands of publications and it can be a tedious task to filter out irrelevant publications and choose a manageable set to read. We have developed a human-centered visual analytics tool, named Bio-Jigsaw, which acts like a visual index on a document collection and supports biologists in investigating and understanding connections between biological entities. Bio-Jigsaw identifies biological entities such as genes and pathways and visualizes connections among them via multiple representations. Connections are based on co-occurrence in abstracts and also are drawn from ontologies or annotations in digital libraries. We demonstrate how Bio-Jigsaw can be used to analyze a PubMed search query on "tgfb2" resulting in over 1500 primary papers.
